( 4 out of 5) Great price but iffy finish

by Brian from Peoria, Arizona on June 18, 2014

First Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore was great to deal with as usual. Fast shipping and easy transaction. Good price on the rifle, although it was $100 more than the same rifle in the law enforcement priced section but the LE priced model was out of stock while the other was in stock. Not a huge deal, still best price I could find.



The rifle itself is well put together and tight fitting but the finish was horrible. Several areas on the upper and lower receiver where it looked like the finish was worn off. The barrel and quad rail looked fine. Not a huge issue since I was planning on having it refinished anyway at Robar with their NP3 coating. So because I was going to refinish it anyway I didnt bother calling Smith to send it back. I know from previous experience that Smith would have taken care of the issue. So overall good rifle.
