Yep, as others said, they are great rifles, and I'd highly recommend them. I have quite a few friends that have bought them, and every one of them has shot amazing. I'd expect sub moa groups right out of the box, not to mention a great trigger.
The finish on the metal seems to be the same as other models that I've handled, so I don't see a difference there. If there is a difference I didn't notice it.
The stock is cheaper feeling and a little flimsy in the end, but the regular Model 10's and Model 11's I've handled elsewhere have had a similar stock, it's just that some of the tactical models have had a better sturdier stock on them, or some of the wood stocked models of course are sturdier.
IMO this rifle is hands down the best value for the money on the market right now. I don't understand why people even consider the Savage Axis/Edge, Mossbergs, Remington 710/770, or even the 700's, or any of the other budget rifles when you can get this rifle that's much better than all of them for a budget rifle price.
The only thing I might would ditch with this rifle is the scope. I see they are now coming with mostly Bushnells. I've had one of those Bushnells and it was the biggest POS scope I've ever had. It worked, but the adjustments were horrible, the glass sucked, and all around it just sucked. The one I had was on a .22 and I sold it.
I know they used to come with the Simmons Blazer and that's what everyone I know with one has. They seem to work and have pretty decent glass. Most of my friends still use these on them, and years later they are still holding up just fine. I also had one myself and it seemed decent, up upgrading to better glass. To me glass wise it seemed to be on par with the Nikon Prostaff.
So if you have the option, I'd pick the one with the Simmons Blazer. If you don't have the option it's still a heck of a deal with the Bushnell, and you may like it better than I did. If not, you should be able to sell it easily.
