I have one in 30-06 and love it. It a great hunting rifle. It is very light weight and accurate. I have taken over 50 deer with it. If there is a downside it is that because it is light weight, the barrel heats up rapidly and must be allowed to cool before shooting again. Of course, when you are hunting you should not need more than a shot or two. If I were to see another at a good price I would not hesitate to buy it.
