The trigger system is similar to the savage accutrigger.

IIRC, others has said it's around $300-350.
From what I've heard (not handled one yet) it's a lot of rifle for the money.

I do dig marlin rimfires. :)

They had alot of good things to say about them accuracy and ergonomics. I think they are trying to compete with the Savage/Stevens market. Like was said befor the trigger is kinda like the Accutrigger. Might not be a bad one to look at if your in the market for a reliable no frills rifle. If I can find the magazine article Ill read up on it.
