To add to the earlier replies, I picked up one in .270 and really like the stock fit and the trigger, and everything seems to function perfect. I'm very happy with it so far and it appears to be a good rifle for the money.

I can squeeze the tip of the forend into the barrel with some effort but don't know if that will be a problem. So far the groups at 100 yards with Federal and Nosler ammo have been between .4 and 1 inch and seem to be shrinking, maybe because I'm getting more comfortable with it. I'm not a well-practiced bench shooter and have mostly used old lever actions with aperture sights.
