Anyone use one? Reliability? Accuracy? Finicky?

I have one in 22 mag and its been great, though it doesn't get used much. Always thought the 17hmr version would be fun as well. I ran across one for $249. Several marks in the barrel's finish and the bottom 1/2" of the heel of the laminated stock has been chipped off.

I know there was a recall, but I'm pretty sure many people use theirs as is in 17.

What say you?
