I had a Weatherby " weathergaurd" once ( it had the crinkle finish on the stock) I didn' t like that because it was noisy (when a branch scratched acrossed it ; it was like fiinger nails on a chalkboard). The guns at Walmart are good guns ( not factory seconds) so if you like that model it' ll be fine . BTW as far as I know the " weathergaurd" is out of production.
