I have shot just one of these. In 25.06 Rem. It was baught by a buddy for his son's first "deer rifle". Here's my $02 based upon only this one expereince. On teh + side are the (1) price, (2) accuracy, and (3) adjustable trigger. We adjusted the trigger to 3.5#. It was not a "glass break" crisp, but not bad at all ! The fit & finsih are just OK. THe polymer stock was not as stiff as I suspected it would be, but seemed OK. He put an adjustable 40 mm objective, 1" tube, Elite 4200 on the rifle. I have to say that the bolt angle needs to be re-thunk! It barely cleared! We shot 6 different factory ammo's. I forget the details of these, except the Frederal Premium shot groups far tighter than I am a shooter ! And again I forget the details of the ammo. I'd buy it.
