I think it is a very fun gun to shoot, but if you are looking for a rifle to just sit at the bench and shoot, it probably won't suit your accuracy needs, I haven't really seen one that shoots much less than 3" groups at 100 yards. I think you would be better off with a bolt action rifle if you intend to bench shoot. But if you intend to just blast away at random targets and plates out there, this might be the rifle for you. I think an AR15 has the capability of being much more accurate if you truly desire a semi automatic rifle.
