I am operating only on here say. I have heard by two different people that these are excellent rifles. One has a Forrester in 243 and the other in 308. I have seen the 308 in action at the local rifle range. 100 yard 3 shot groups with all three bullets touching was the case. However, the price seems a little high. Try looking on
www.gunsamerica.com and I think you can beat the price. If you can afford that price and are satisfied it doesn't really matter.
