A couple things appeal to me about this rifle. The Kalifornia versions come with the muzzle brake used on the Squad Scout model. With it, the rifle stays almost dead on target when in recoil.
The rifle is on the heavy side. Where I seriously hunt the big bucks, running shots are the rule. I have a bad habit of not following through when doing such shots. Additional weight should help me with this.
Last of all, the rifle has a reputation for running well even when dirty from dust and lack of oil. This is a problem where I go.
I would appreciate hearing about any experiences or thoughts on this. E
