ATI makes a stock for the hi point that makes it look a lot better. http://www.atigunstocks.com/products.aspx?category=6&page=1&id=18
I have been thinking about buying one for my father in law, his hi point shoots great but looking @ hurts my eyes! $70 is kind of expensive when you fiure the price of the rifle, but hey he loves his and for a .40 caliber carbine I think its a great deal.
