I've had 4 over the years, 20 or so years ago, I had one in all 3 calibers made. Out of that trio, the 243 and 284 never gave me a problem. The 308 would not eject or failed to feed once in every 3 or 4 shots. Had to sell them all over time. Last year, picked up one in 284. It's at the gunsmith now and not sure of the verdict on it. He polished the chamber and it still failed. He is replacing some of the internal parts and we'll see. Hopefully you will have a long and joyful relationship with it...lol. Not sure why others have been drawn to the model 100, but my story is...when I was a kid and we would meet up to go deer hunting, my uncle had 1 in a 308 and I loved the basket weave stock. Thought it was "pretty" and always wanted one!
