I've got one in .223 and they "Take some getting used to" for sure. Long action, bedding lug in the stock, cheap (but not as flimsy as Savage) plastic stock. Plastic magazine.

However, the trigger on mine adjusted right down to 2 pounds without some stupid paddle on the front of it and it shoots loads that I had already made up in the mid .5s.


I know 2 guys who bought them in .300WSM and both hated the recoil and traded them off....
