[QUOTE="Trappernewt, post: 1222181, member: 96515"] They are nice rifles for the money. I bought one in .308 when they were on sale at Gander Mtn for $299. I haven't fired it yet but I disassembled it and took a Dremel to the stock and widened the barrel channel. After that I filled the forend honeycomb with body filler and sanded it down smooth and contoured it so the barrel stayed floated. It stiffens the stock up great and I have put some pressure on the barrel and it will not touch. I was concerned about rust and the lack of blueing prompted me to do a FDE paint job. :-) [URL=http://s971.photobucket.com/user/shenriver_man/media/F18F7013-8BA9-427E-ADAD-96708F7468FC_zpserwz3yk7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae200/shenriver_man/F18F7013-8BA9-427E-ADAD-96708F7468FC_zpserwz3yk7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
