Picked one up for my wife in a a package deal downtown for under $300. I personally think it was one of the best deals around.The scope isn't highend by any means but this thing is a dinger. Two mulies, my wyo antelope, and many jacks have fell to this weapon.I'm trying to take it over as mine, but the wifey isn't giving it up.It's a stainless synthetic in 25-06. Missed some coyotes with it, but that was my problem, not the rifles!I would also like one in a 223 for plinking, jacks, and coyotes.
