Not horrible but you could have purchaced something like a BCM at the same price point. __________________ “The bitterness of poor quality Lingers long after The sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

Do some looking around and compare price to specs such as barrel steel, twist rate, proper assembly, QC, CS. __________________ “The bitterness of poor quality Lingers long after The sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

A very knowledgeable guy once told me "length of ownership is no indication of quality". It opened my eyes quite a bit.
I never said anything negative about his rifle. There are guys I trust that like Stag. Yes it is a decent rifle but my words hold true.
I did a quick Google search and in 2 pages a Model 2 ran from the mid $800 range to $999. There is better out there well w/i that price point. Once again I'm not talking down on Stag but I speak the uncoated truth. __________________ “The bitterness of poor quality Lingers long after The sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

Really, after your purchase is not the time to start asking the difference in barrel steel and twist rate. Plus a score of other specs. That should be determined in your initial research. Stag does offer 4150 and 1:7 in their $100 upgrade package. Do you need it? Maybe, maybe not, it depends on your application. __________________
