They are good shooting rifles my hunting buddy has one that shoots real well but he hates cleaning it. You have to take down the bolt and clean it real well after shooting or it will get screwed up. He is actually looking for a new inline for next year but is not going to sell the 700.

His has the percussion breech plug and uses pellets with no problem.

My personal opinion on the rifle is it is a fine rifle but needs to be tweeked to get the performance it is capable of.
