All of you guys talking about them not being the prettiest guns on the market do know that they have other models that what Walmart carries.

They have the sporter and stainless sporter with a satin finished walnut stock and rosewood fore end cap.
They have the "back country" with a stainless fluted barrel and a "spider web" finished synthetic stock.
They have the deluxe with high polished steel and a high gloss walnut stock with rosewood fore end cap.

And a whold bunch of other models as well.

They are one of the best values in bolt action rifles and the Howa action is probably the strongest bolt action receiver on the market.
