I also purchased a Remington Genesis with the Stainless Steel barrel. I have a Nikon Omega 3-9x40mm scope on it. Like some of the failings of the rifle Uncle Norby mentioned, the ramrod was one. BUT think about it... I use a range rod when shooting targets. And if I have to load once or twice with the ramrod in the field, so be it.

The torch cam I have not found a problem with. Granted I wipe it down every ten shots or so with a alcohol patch. Wipe the front, back and bottom. On the range a Q-tip can be used to clean the 209 primer pocket. Mine locks up real nice and tight and has not been a problem.

Accuracy with the rifle is exceptional. For some reason this rifle of mine likes Pyrodex RS Pellets. Two of them and a 250 grain Barnes MZ Expander or 200 grain Shockwaves produce amazing accuracy.



this three shot group was shot at 63 yards. The bullet was .452 and the group measured .471 so you do the math... not that I have ever done it sense, but I do know the rifle is able to shoot that well. Its the shooter that has the problems..

Cleaning the rifle is a breeze. Now I can say that after shooting twenty some shots, that when I wipe off my scope there is no blow back on that scope. Others report blow back. I tape and grease my breech plug.

One draw back is pay special attention to how the rifle comes apart and goes back together. If you make any small error, the rifle will not fire the primer. But also, if you discover the rifle will not fire the primer, ask yourself if you took and put the trigger in wrong when you cleaned it, or if you have the firing pin wrong. Other then that, it comes apart simple. And if you pay attention to the rifle, it goes back together easy.

Personally I really like the rifle. I paid $162.00 after rebates and such and I feel this is well worth the money. It would make a great starter rifle or even a great only rifle. It is a great starter rifle. It is basically the same rifle as the Traditions Yukon.
