I bought a stainless American .270 cheap via Gunbroker, just to have for a loaner/beater/rain gun. Everything about it gives me the willies...from all the plastic etc. But it's light and handles nicely and works well and I find myself liking it. It would be an easy rifle to grab off the rack, as long as I wasn't trying to impress anyone that day. I am amazed how inexpensively Ruger can manufacture a rifle in the USA that works so well.
