Yes, it's an older model they they had on clearance at CDNN... where everything is on clearance, I guess.
I ditched the cheezy green Hogue stock and the rotary mags that came with it. The Magpul stock works well, and takes either AI or DTA mags. I've added a Timney trigger and a Magpul bipod. I think it's going to handle and balance much better with the shorter barrel.
A buddy of Wayne Dobbs will trim and thread the barrel for me. He makes excellent rifles. He is so good at cutting threads on a barrel for a comp, that you can't tell where the comp ends and the barrel begins. His book is full right now, but he agreed to do this when my stamp comes back.
I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.
That sounds like a win-win proposition to me.
Oh, and we need to get Darryl to introduce you to the nice folks at Jackson Armory. They also have a section of rare books related to firearms and history. I think you would really enjoy browsing there as well.
I barely escaped my last visit with my 401K intact. I did get some interesting tomes, however.
Also of note, the Ranch is available in 7.62x39 and accepts Mini-Thirty mags.

Man y'all, this came out sweeter than honey!

This is my new favorite rifle. Need to find a place to try the subs out on piggies and get an idea if they'll work on deer. I realize it's only 25yds, but with some of the issues I've had with rifles, threads, and suppressor mounts lately (https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....08-bolt-issues , https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....l=1#post841638 ), this is definitely a good indication that things are going to work out well!

I know op already found his answer but was hoping I could piggyback on this thread for some thoughts from the group. What do y’all think of the Remington model 7? I found one that comes in a 16.5 threaded barrel in 308 from the factory and it’s currently $440 on grabagun.
