I've never shot one of these in 30-06 so not sure how it would kick. I've got a friend with one but I've never shot it. However, I have shot one in a .243 and to me it's one of my favorite guns I've shot. I don't normally like synthetic stocks but this gun is just light and fit me like a glove. It was super accurate With the cheap Winchester Power Points I put 3 shots in the bulls eye for a group under and inch at 100 yards. Just a awesome gun. The one I shot was with the Accu Trigger btw and the trigger was about perfect. Overall for the price this is one of my favorite bolt action guns I've shot. Honestly, I'm a semi auto fan but if I was getting a bolt action this is probably the one I'd get.
How did you get it for $325 btw? They are like $400 or so here at Wally World. Or does yours not have the Accu Trigger?
