I think the quality of the Kodiak is very nice. Mine has nice wood. the color case looks very nice. Metal to wood fit is also nice. Id bet some dont like the brown barrels but i think it goes nice with the gun. I dont know how old mine is but its not been shot much as all is still tight!
I am sure it isnt the same as $8000 + guns but IMHO its a nice gun. Most of all I like the fact it shoots real good.
