Mine is, I don't use a Bi-Pod so I never notice any flex in the forearm at all. I think its one of the best buys out there today! I cleaned mine down to bare metal, then sopped the bore with EezOx, let dry overnight. Next day, for only the first five shots, I pulled a Bore Snake w/EezOx a few times after each shot. From then only, I only pull it between working up groups of different powder . I did have my rifle skim bedded and and TT Special put in.
