My suggestion would be to take a good hard look at the M12 before purchasing
So, what's not to like??
You've apparently had your hands on a couple. Was there something about them that you didn't care for?
You misunderstood me - I LUV THEM!!!(M12) - Best rifle I have seen in some time!
I like them as well. Got one coming in 8X57. Bolt was slick as glass, and the stock feels real nice. Also they are test fired at the factory using American ammunition, usually Hornady.
