Quilly, Last months Rifle or Handloader magazine had an article on them and they gave them very good reviews. I trust their opinion over that of other magazines. i have handled them and they point and balance extremely well and they appear to be well built and are extremely popular. The drawback I see is the short barrel and they mention that in the article it creates a bit of muzzle blast.. But for shooting a couple of times a year its no big deal IMHO.
