I bought two of these models a few months ago in .270 and my sons and I have put alot of rounds through these guns of late.
Right out of the box, they shot a 1" group at 100 yards, and are now driving tacks.
They have performed flawlessly, shoot straight, feel solid and are nowhere near "garbage". My BDL should shoot this good and be this reliable, and it's not.
You do not have to spend $700.00 anymore to get a good deer rifle, unless you like the way it "looks".
