I've got one in another calibre. I have to admit I've only put about 40-50 rounds through it trying out different loads.
Pros-Trigger is sweet, I mean very very nice. It shoots, no doubt about that. Value for money, probably pretty good.
Cons-Magazine/magazine feed is horrible. Stock is "what you see is what you get". Action is OK, bearing in mind I'm used to german slick AF stuff.
It will be/is my sacrificial shooting rifle. I wanted a cheap, knockabout that shoots. It ticks those boxes. Would I do it again? mmmmm, not sure. You can get a nice old Brno etc for that money that will likely hold a bit more value. It is the only plastic in my safe and I have a few.
