The Troy rifles are a very squared away piece of kit. It's a steal at $799. I thought the stock was fugly until I handled one of these at Dicks. The stock isn't nearly as bulky as it looks. Carrier group was well put together and was an auto carrier. Aside from not being chrome lined, the barrel looked nicely spec'd. Melonite is actually a very durable barrel treatment. Overall, the Troy rifles are a good value at the normal asking price and a smoking deal at $800.
