I never wanted one either. But I fell into a bunch of parts for almost nothing on a trade so I put one together. I put a Leupold 1.5-5 on it and found I really like it. In fact it’s my most used rifle by far. It’s accurate and reliable and I don’t mind that it’s behind the seat of my truck getting scratched all to hell as long as it holds zero. It’s absolute poison on everything I’ve ever pointed it at, crows, hogs, coyotes, deer, turkeys I basically use ut on anything smaller than elk and it works great.
