Well it kills deer so I would guess it would be a good gun right? I don't care about the stock and if it feels like a "toy". Maybe in a year or two it will become the garbage that yall say it is. I do agree it's a cheap gun and do wish I got a better one. Oh well. I got my .30-30 so I am not too too worried. I am not trying to argue so please don't take this offensive.
