I bought one in 300 mag about a year ago (new FN made) and the wood was decent and it was a very nice rifle but for $1200 the thing that really bothered me was the black PLASTIC fore end cap. For that kind of money you'd think a rifle called super anything would have a piece of ebony instead of plastic. Comparably priced Kimbers have ebony tips, weatherby and Browning use rosewood tips. Ect. Not a big deal to most people but for some reason it really bothered me. To answer your question, no i dont think the SG is worth the money over a sporter or FW.
