Had a friend that bought one. Even for an econo model rifle my impression was, "Wow, what a POS." After a short while it actual got to where a lead tip bullet would not feed from the magazine. The tip would snag and not slip up and into the barrel. IMHO the Savage 110 is a much more reliable rifle in the same price range and despite being pretty cheap the Savages are actually accurate rifles as well. Another inexpensive rifle that gives a lot of quality for the dollar is a Howa. Not as easy to find but well built rifles for a good price.
