A few months ago I was in one of the big outdoors stores and was wandering through the gun section. They had some tables of discounted rifles and shotguns and one of them was a new SuperGrade Model 70. I picked it up and looked it over and that was a superbly built rifle. The metal finish was fabulous and the wood was really beautiful. It was expensive, and well over $1k, though I can't remember the actual price. What I have not forgotten was what a lovely rifle it was.

Some of the newer low cost and medium cost rifles don't look finished to me, with little or no metal polish and mediocre wood stocks. They might shoot great, but you can't really call them good looking. That SuperGrade was as good looking as any rifle I've seen in years.
