I have a Lite in .270 and one in 30-06. I bought the 30-06 for an Elk Hunt and after that I bought the .270 for Deer. I have not missed a shot, yet. Both perform terrifically. As for as those who complain about their customer service, I say, if you had a weapon for 5 years, and never had a failure, what do you care about customer service? I traded in my 700's for these because I could not get a good group with them. Now my groups are perfect, right out of the box.
I don't know how much more you can expect from a reasonably priced rifle.


Better to be over the hill than under it.
