higg, i got one for my birthday the other day, i took the scope off of my rem 700 in 22-250, because i want to buy a better scope for it anyway[&:], now my new nef in .204 has a tasco 6-24X42 and is shooting .700" groups @ 100 yrds. it is a cool little caliber, i wanted a cheaper gun to keep out of the safe all the time for coyotes and other critters, i got less than 275$ total in it, i am shooting factory loads currently (17.00$/20[:-]), don't have a chrono but i have heard speed is down a little from whats advertised, the trigger is a little rough and tight, but this will be taken care of in short order, overall i'm pleased, mine also cost 199$
