I'm not much of a SS or synthetic kinda of guy, but this gun fits a very practical need for me.

I've become partial to the super-solid H-S stocks on the Sendero's (plus I like the look) more than any other plastic stocks I've messed with.

The full length aluminum bedding block is also a nice touch.

I guess my thinking is that almost any Sendero will cost me 600 bucks at least, and if I could get a stainless one for that, it'd be a miracle. Then that Nikon scope (which I would never buy myself to put on a rifle) is a pretty darned expensive scope too. (400?)....I think (and I've been wrong before) that 750 for it is a very good price for the package.
