Thinking of getting one and using it as my backpacking brush gun and maybe close range (<100 yard/91 meter) deer rifle.

Thoughts on the rifle, hunting with a 223 or whatever?

Also if you have one of these, please tell me a little - quality, accuracy, ammo/bullets your gun likes. Also, what twist does it have? Google results speculate a 1:9.5" twist.

EDIT:

Wondering about a lightweight synthetic stock for this gun too. Like a McMillan Edge stock. Any recommendations?
