Yup. Works too. Mine in 280 AI has the recoil of a 243. Never had a rifle with a weed burner before. Had a couple that were Magnaported. I'd say the weed burner works very well. I've only shot mine with 140 factory Accubonds so far but it's very pleasant to shoot. Also have had a Montana in 300 WSM since they came out. No accuracy problems here. The Ascent has a different feel than the Montana. If you can get over the digital camo the stock feels nice and soft not at all like the Montana. Haven't shot mine enough to see if it will shoot MOA but I could damn sure kill something with it after shooting it about 8 times to sight it in. As with any light rifle you have to pay attention to what you are doing to shoot it well. I've had an Ultra Light Model 20 for over 20 years and when I haven't shot it for a while it reminds you to concentrate on what you are doing.
