I wouldn't review it.
Hideous features and not competitive with a Model 70 in asthetics, design or pricing.
Build location is meaningless in todays world. Manufacturing skill comes down to management goals for design and build acceptability and an enforced and supported quality management system and please don't use that decades obsolete phrase, "QC". It doesn't exist because it never worked.
QA systems today are about formal procedures being written, training being given and competence verified as are the production processes starting with purchasing and materials, receipt and allocation, verification of components, consumption, step by step daily internal auditing, corrective action reporting on defects found and responsibility assignments, there is a lot to it, all wrapped up with management reviews of the total system.
That rifle would be DOA in many of the internal processes if they had a QA system in place.
By comparison, The Fieldcraft rifles were built under a QMS and audited both internally and externally. You now all know now the value of a QMS in manufacturing.
G'night fella's......
