I own one in 338 win mag. Nice trigger, tight tolerances, the single stack magazine feeds flawlessly, nice finish, bolts cycles smoothly,nice weight and is one of the few rifles I own that I do not load for. Why? Because the factory ammo I first tied shot so well I wasn't going to mess around with it anymore.

I have tinkered with a few things like I do on most rifles I own. Over the last decade I have recommended them to quite a few who have asked my opinion on best value of a hunting rifle.

I don't know anything about it's soul, or who is or isn't butt hurt but I do know mine has been a great rifle and wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
