    Nothing wrong with it other than the barrel forward suppressor it was just too much for a complete novice.
    Would happily own another one now.
    Fuck thats keen going for a rem mag first!

    My old flatmate got one for his first rifle, well before I met him. The flinch this guy had was just amazing, even when using a 22. First time he shot a tahr, it was at 50m, no rush, aaaand got it in a front hoof. His mate then caught it on the stumble with an opensighted AR. Still thinks it was the bees knees choice

    Yeah was a bit misguided, my much more experienced mate had one and raved about it, so I had to have one.....luckily I quickly realised I needed to cut my teeth on something a little less KABOOMY

    Yeah totally not a great first rifle, I have since owned and still own some of 17hmr, 22, 223, 243, 308, 270, another 7mm rem mag and finally settled on a braked 270wsm.
    My 223 taught me alot about shooting consistently wish I'd kept that one.
