Excellent weapon.

Not as reliable as a bolt action, but way more reliable than a semi-auto. I've never heard many problems with them. I've never owned one, but have shot one many times. Only problem I had with it, was that my mind wanted to believe it was a shotgun, and therefore I caught myself standing like I was shooting a shotgun. Probably just me though, I'm sure that's easily correctable if it even is a common problem.
