Hi, for under 1k, that's a deal. I'd go for it. Uggies do have terrible finishes on their stocks. But, once that's stripped off and refinished there can be some very nice wood under that goop.
I have a Grade IV Uggie which is basically the 75 and it has been a very good gun. No problems at all. These are your basic entry level SLE, but are fine in all regards. You may want to do a search here for more info:

All the best!
