Ond the common things that I see in reviews of the Model 100 is that people actually own and shoot them generally like them for what they are, hunting rifles that shoot in the 1.5 to 2 MOA range and are reliable if kept reasonably clean. People who have never owned one often dismiss them based on what they read on the 'net, parroting the reports of others who may or may not be reliable reporters or who got a bad example. Are there some bad Model 100s out there? Sure, but for the most part they do what they were desinged to do and they do it pretty well.
