I have heard a bunch about this rifle and I just got rid of mine. Most of what I heard about these rifles were from people who have owned them and never shot them. Almost always negative. Here is the dope from an actual user for those who are considering purchasing one.

It is a good rifle, and will jam a few times righ out of the box due to the chambering area being dry and unconditioned. If you want to make your life easier, grease up (a thin coat) some shells before with reloading lube before heading out your first time shooting it. It will take a box or 2 of these lubed shells, but it will work just fine.

Clean it after every time of use, especially in the chamber area.
My rifle was very accureate with premium ammunition, but finicky with the 200 yard accureacy if you didnt use the right ammo.

Re-loads are a problem if you dont have a full re-sizing collet, get used to that cheap remington express stuff at wal-mart for $11.87 a box. Good to sight in at 100 yards.

The 200 yard accureacy can be good (I never got better than 4 inch group) but again, use good ammo.

Dont shoot to many rounds too fast, the barrel heats up fast and knocks off the accrueacy right now.

The trigger is horrible. Look at a spring replacement, I did it on mine and got great results.

In general, an excellent rifle for the person hunting in the 0-200 yard range that wants a quick follow up shot, My father in law has this exact rifle in .308 and it is way more accureate. It differes from gun to gun, he loves his. I hunt in Colorado mostly, but as well in oklahoma and possibly in wisconsin. This is a good brush gun, but I would reccomend that folks use it in .308. I think it is a better match.

Hope this helps! EJ
