I've been searching for a good Eureka sleeping bag. Any particular opinions about this one?

Cheap, Heavy, low end - think boy scouts. 4 lb bag. Not very compressible.
BTW...Campmor has it for $44.

What Toolshed said. Now if you are looking for someting on a budget, an option might be the Eureka Casper sleeping bag. It is $80 from Campmor, is about a pound lighter at 2lbs 15 ounces and stuffs down to 8.5"x12.5".
There are many other options, of course, but I am very pleased with the Casper myself especially at the price paid.
Eureka makes low to medium end tents. They aren't known for making bags. It might be unrealistic to expect them to get it right on the first try.
Look at the Kelty Lightyear series of down bags (but most folks say they aren't as warm as Kelty says they are).
Campmor bags are supposed to be good (from what I've read here), too.
My bags are made by Golite, Feathered Friends, and Montbell - not cheap, but I got a good deal on the Golite and Montbell.
