i purchased one in 7mm-08 as my backup gun. Now it's my primary gun for hunting. I was very surprised with how well this gun shoots. Accuracy is top notch. My bolt was a little sticky in the beginning, but i oiled it up, cycled it a number of times while sighting it in and now it's smooth. Its still not as smooth as my M70, but i couldn't be more pleased with the gun and what i paid for it. right out of the box i was hitting right about 1" off center consistently.
