Just picked one up for $350.00 out the door. The dist send me a refund check for $25.00 so my cost was $325.00 for a new rifle. Don't know how anyone could complaign about this rifle. The stock is nice and firm. The finish looks great although I don't know what it is. It marks easy but cold blue goes right over it and looks new again. Caliber is .308. The molded in stock swivels are really nice. I shot Winchester NATO, 147gn. full jacketed ammo and it did 3/4 " groups right out of the box at 100 yards. Very simple rifle and easy to maintain. I don't hunt and I don't target shoot. I bought it to take care of the zombies when and if they come.
