I saw this on GB and looking at the pics something looked odd about it so I read the discription, poor poor rifle. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=147620634

Yes its the metal color or white frosting on that rifle that my eyes can't stand. On top of that its made in Hong Kong or wherever.

You can put gold plating on a piece of poop aka an A=bolt but it is still a piece of poop.

If it had been a decent base rifle I actually LIKE the looks of it. Pretty nice wood and engraving, to me anyway.

If you want a dull finish and no checkering on a stock then don't buy a medallion browning. They all have high gloss finish and nice wood. I can't believe he sanded the checkering off too.

Count me in the group that likes it better now.

If they could've just gotten rid of the cheesy forend cap, it would even be better.

Wow. I bet he saved himself $50-100 by sanding and refinishing it himself and probably changed the resale value of it by $300-400....the wrong way!
