Thread: Recommend a rifle...

Yes, the S&L are nice as @Brian says.

Blued steel but they are proper blue and proper steel. Mine has never rusted and its had a hard life (the basic "Classic" model). Lots of dings and scrapes on the barrel and stock but they don't affect it - the internals are still perfect. The action is like an oiled piston and they are as accurate as.

Mine is 15 years old and been all over the country with me. Never missed a beat. Never lost zero. Would have fired maybe 1000 rounds and still shoots tiny groups. Its so reliable and so predictable its almost boring. My Grandchildren will end up with it.
