Since when did you start worrying about the cost of a gun?
If the Eagle Scout one wasn't a tad gaudy, I'd say go for it. The kid would have it forever and maybe pass on down to your great grandchildren.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Got any pictures of your guns that
you'd like to share?

I really can't see the extra $800 to make the gun 'pretty'. It doesn't make the rifle a better
rifle. I plan to get the receiver cover engraved, if possible. If nothing else, I could have a brass
plate engraved and mounted on the stock. I agree with you that the Eagle Scout Golden Boy is a tad
gaudy.

The kid will still have it forever and pass it down as he desires.
