    Yes!!! I handle one at NZ hunting and fishing in Invercargill a little while ago.
    I was very tempted to create more trouble to myself but i couldn't as i have just bought an AR15 at the time.

    They carry well and good horsepower for the longer shots

    I bought one of these,turned out to be a lemon. Nice finish but not accurate,firstly suspected the bedding and lack of decent recoil lug,got that fixed but still no good.Eventually bit the bullet and went to a lilja barrel and it shoots really great.Also replaced the rubbish muzzle brake and put a decent scope base on it.

    sounds like an expensive exercise considering they come with an accuracy guarantee

    It was ,$4995 for the rifle and another $2400 to fix.Gaurantees are voided after you use handloads and American companies seem to be the only ones who don't quibble,just take your word and send you another one
