I bought my wife a Benelli 30-06 this year. She wanted a semi Auto. I bought a closeout VX3 and mounted it. Bought a box of Rem core lokt 165 gn and took it to sight in.After 4 shots and some scope adjustments it put 5 shots in a group that could be covered with a quarter an inch high at a hundred yds.. Recoil is about like my bolt action 243 that has no pad. I was surprised and pleased. The trigger is not bad either. I took it home and took it all apart using the manual. It is really well though out and simple. It requires no tools to take it apart. It carries well and feels handy. It looks odd. But It looks to be a good rifle.
