    I can report mine shot very well this morning with a low power variable scope and 168gn ELDms generally small groups round the inch mark. Not so good with the Sako Factory loads (150gn soft points) more Minute of 1/2 an A4 page but still good enough for most things.
    No suppressor yet as the Alok adapter needs fitting properly by gunsmith or I need a different suppresor so the thing is Loud Loud Loud.
    Over all I really like it although reloading in hurry may be challenging.
    Great value for money although I over capitalised on mine with the optics

    One tip - yanking frantically on the trigger (instead of the guard lever) does not open the action, no matter how many times you do it...thankfully I learnt this playing at home and not while hunting!
