Why is this being posted under Precision Rifles?? Wow....

isnt that what this forum is all about? Dressing up factory guns in cheap scopes and bipods and calling them "precision rifles". You think THIS is bad, you should see the EE "Precision' rifles ads

Actually, I plan on buying one and tearing it apart to see just how good/bad they really are. I have a Bartlein looking for a home on a gun. This looks like fun. Wonder if they use a 700 trigger hanger?

I see nowhere in the title of the section that a target gun should not be made from a "cheap" gun to start with.

I wonder if the stores are managing to make up in higher sales quantity for the loss of margins on all those commodity rifles, also doesn't leave much room for when anything goes wrong.

Looks like a cheap, entry level, hunting rifle to me.
