I agree Aggie,, but I did spray some Krylon Fusion Camo paint on mine after I sanded down the rough mold marks,, slipped a prefit Simms pad on my 7-08 with a 6x Nikon, it is a very accurate and a light rifle for the hills,, and for 300 bucks it shoots lights out,, 140 TSX or 120 Btips,, I am now going to get one in .223, they are that good of a buy.
