I have several friends here in the midwest who bought them and most of them are saying they wish they had gone to the .204, .243 or the .22 mag or Hornet. Reasons were; very difficult to clean, guns weren't cheap, accuracy easily affected by wind and/or brush-----I'm seeing more and more of them on the used gun rack--I've got the A-bolt in .204 and I've never shot anything this fast before and it's very accurate---I'd say get a .204 instead---------
