I previously bad mouthed them because of the plastic. AnywayI bought one a few weeks ago in 308 and it absolutely shoots lights out , I am very pleased with it. Bore is one of the smoothest I have ever run a patch thru and have yet to find fouling to be any sort of problem to remove in fact I have never had to use a brush or harsh copper remover. Wipeout and a few patches job done. Trigger from the factory was set at 2.5 lbs. The Bolt is precise and strips easily for cleaning and is simple in design. Feeds ammo as slick as anything out there. I plan on buying one in 243 or 7 Rem mag have not decided which oneyet.
