Absolutely.

If a tool does its job well then it has its own good looks. Engineering elegance.

Personally don't give two hoots what it looks like, but as someone who is saving for a 338lm I find the idea of a semi auto very appealing-if out of my price bracket both to buy and run(as I know I would use more ammo trying to keep the gong ringing)

Faaa imagine a close range engagement with the red dot!

I thought AR15s were definitely FUGLY until I used one.

Most US Optics scopes have only a short eye relief of 2 inches , where as most other brands LR scopes are 3.75 to 4.0 inches , so poor old Gunny closed up to the scope to get the right sight picture , that and maybe letting the rifle slip a bit , and got bit by the scope .
So not totally Gunnys fault ? , the only USO scope I have with good eye relief is the MST-100 , which was designed by Unertl & not USO , the MST-100 is a fixed 10x scope and has 3 inches of eye relief .

Keeps getting bettter

22 inches is kind of short for a .338lpm barrel and you would stuff cases kind of fast (trying to convince myself I don't need one).
