I have held one at Shedhorn Sports in Ennis, MT. I will take a pass at even half the price.

In my brief encounter, these are my impressions:
The case coloring looked to be painted on, and poorly done. The fit an finish left a LOT to be desired. The action was stiff and halting. It seemed to me a poorly executed Marlin copy, with very little mechanical or internal similarities at all.

It could shoot and feed great, but I will not be the one reporting on it.

Best of luck to the lucky guy that tries one out!
