Well a rifle I think is goodlooking is the Remington 700 BDL with it gloss finished stock and ebony looking forend tip. And you could get it alott cheaper. I gotta 700 BDL 270 I've hunted with for years beautiful rifle shoots great and is under a grand. Put the extra money into a good leupold or nikon scope and your dad would be proud. My ol man uses a Winchester model 70 featherweight in 308 for deer and it's nice too.
