    I have one. Don't particularly enjoy it. Dropped it in a laminate stock which helped the balance and appearance, but I'm still not thrilled with it by any means.

    Trigger is a poor imitation of the accutrigger. Action is a little clunky.

    Doesn't like winchester ammo - won't eject casings from powerpoints and crushes the hollow points on the 40gr subs when chambering.

    Tried a variety of ammo and have ended up on CCI subs, but it's still not particularly accurate. 20-25mm at 50y, from memory. (have a few recent targets at home that I can check tomorrow night)


    Often think about selling it and picking up a savage or something instead.

    Just my experience, I'm sure others will have differing opinions.
