The Noveske matched upper/lowers are nice - they are hand-fitted so they are absolutely exact...no slop or play whatsoever. Not that the play between any particular upper and lower has any effect on accuracy or function, but my general preference is for a rifle that doesn't rattle.
When I was looking for a couple of matched uppers/lowers about a year ago, I called Noveske. Shari told me that they were out of stock, but she gave me the names of a couple of their distributors where their most recent production run was headed. I called around to them, found some at
JP Ten Sports in Texas and bought them there. Prior to that, I had always bought them from Noveske, but as you note, they are a hot commodity, especially now with their new version lower (as pictured above in ImportConvert's images. Noveske's first couple of runs of those matched uppers/lowers went to building their own rifles, next to their distributors, last to themselves for sale. They are still very hard to find.
