I was shocked at the pricing BassPro is running currently on the Glenfield Model A's.........$299......seems quite attractive.....thoughts?
Give-away sale?

I didn't know Glenfield was back from the dead. Had to check it out. Those rifles are clearly Gen 1 Ruger Americans. Serviceable rifles but possibly still have the same trigger, feeding issues, and Tupperware stock problems.

The Hornady guys did a "build-up" on one of these on their podcast series; I think they called it their budget build series. Like, a lot of cheaper rifles: if the only thing you keep is the barreled action, and you replace the stock and trigger and put on good glass, they will shoot.
My wife's 243 Rugar Gen 1 shoots as is. Stock isn't ideal but works. Never had feeding issues and trigger is ok after I adjusted it.
If you want something with nicer fit and finish or better craftsmanship then you'll need to spend more. For just a inexpensive budget rifle they work fine.
