OK - is it junk or not? I always thought of them as POSs but I was looking at some of the reviews on this rifle and I think I may have to change my perspective on them. Yes I know they aren't a 700 but the videos I've seen show them as being decent shooters for the price range. The Savage Axis may have a few notches up on them but all in all they don't seem as bad as I initially thought. The worse complaint I heard with them is the sticky bolt. But reviewers claim this smooths up after some use.
As for accuracy they likely won't win and competitions but for a truck gun or a beater gun I see its potential.
