Very fast lock time, stiff action, nice balance. Kind of light, slender , hurts it a bit for holding the thing still. Counting my son's rifles, I've shot 5 of them, all around 3/4" or slightly less for 5 shots at 50. Try one out., if you can. Nice rifles. I had mine at the range yesterday. A guy with a Ruger Precision 22 wanted to trade, after he shot it.
