I've had several several rifles for my young life span but I will tell you that there has never been a factory rifle I have owned that is anywhere as close as my 85 270wsm not close kimbers are nice and winchester classic with a good aftermarket sticks are great but the st finnlight is perfect in every way even ejecting cases I have read these forums about people bashing every manufacture known to man if you don't like your rifle put it on the classifieds and sell it buy something you want to try same with bows scopes trucks boots etc it's just a materialist item get another
