Great thread MasterAlex and all the contributors!
I have a Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 kit sitting in the corner. As a result of the collective enthusiasm demonstrated in this (and other threads) and the fact that I just like the looks of the Hog Bipe much more than the Ult, I called my LHS to see if he would take it back so that I can swap it for a Hog Bipe kit - he said YES. Can't wait to finish my current build (a bashed Kadet Senior) and then figure out whether to build my Somethin' Extra or the Hog Bipe. Tough decisions.
