I had one in 243 win,it worked fine when new,as it got alittle use on it it started to jam. I kept it clean in the bolt area also. It didn't likereloads at all. Seems like the only loads that it would shoot where the 80gr Rem corlocks. I gave it to the wife to use during deer season,and she hated the rifle!!! I was at a gun show and this guy had a Browning Gold Medalion in 243 did a trade for $70 and I was a happy camper!!!!
