I currently own one in 308 that was given to me by my father-in-law. I've hunted with it off and on for about 5 years and have been fortunate enough to harvest a few deer with it. It is fun to shoot at the range but I have found it to "wander" quite a bit. Mine use to often "jam-up" on me and I ended up getting it worked on a few times. They also had a firing pin recall. I strictly use mine to punch paper now. It is a beautiful rifle, and fun to shoot, however, I am just not confident enough with it to take it into the field anymore.
