If HiPoint made a .223 then I bet it would look close to this.

Hardwood83:
It sold for $180. Talk about more money then sense!

SeanN:

A few years back I was helping with the hunter sight in day at the Ike's range in Lincoln.  A couple of guys (who, frankly, didn't seem all that smart) showed up with the ugliest, most beat up old Mossberg .22 I've ever seen.  Someone had tried to "carve" a design into the stock, the metal was covered in flaking black paint, the rear peep sight swung back and forth like a weathervane, etc.  If I remember correctly the owner told me he paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 for the thing, and he was pretty proud of his new toy.  It patterned about like a shotgun at 25 yards.

It was sold to him by a certain local dealer who has a reputation for being a little shady.  I didn't have the heart to tell him he got screwed.  I guess it goes to show that P.T. Barnum was right.
