Yeah, ain't that the truth! I disassembled and cleaned the rifle after work and I think it has been used very little. Honest 99% metal finish and no scratches on the stock. My uncle was not an outdoorsman at all, from what I understand he just shot at coyotes off the porch with it a few times.The design of the rifle seems to be a mix of Remington and Savage. Savage style extractor and barrel nut, Remington style trigger, safety, and magazine box. I went ahead and put one of my scopes on the rifle, I'll give it a test drive before I take it to the shop. Who knows, I may end up liking it!
