My son picked up a stainless synthetic last year. He put a VX-3i 3.5-10 and it is extremely accurate. So much so that I started to look for one. This past January, our Wal-Mart had them on sale for $250 and there was a $50 rebate. Only problem is they were in 308 only. I picked one up figuring I wasn't out a lot if it didn't shoot well I put a Burris 3-9x40 and had a box of 150 grain Core-Lokts so I tried them. I shot a 10 shot group at 100 that was one ragged hole. Second 10 shot group was the same. I have been reloading and getting nearly the same accuracy with 165 Hornady Interlocks and IMR 4064. It has been a very easy rifle to shoot.
Truth is, they are what they are, I've had a lot of fun with mine and cheap accuracy is pretty good I think. In total I have less than $500 in the entire outfit and have had no issues at all. I have shot in the neighborhood of 500 rounds since May and it feeds very well (unlike my buddies Americans).
