Here's what I don't get about guys buying guns. Why would you try to squeeze the thing down so far as to compromise what you're getting? You've got camo, slings, scopes, boots, knives, etc... that all cost money and all will deteriorate with time and be worthless. A gun if cared for will last forever. Why not just spend another $200-$400 to get a quality rifle. Heck a quality rifle will actually sell if you try and then you'll just recoup the difference back over the junk rifle.
I'm not saying to break the bank here. I'm not talking $1500 rifles. Again don't understand this one.
