Yes, they do get bashed for being cheap, but I think the price is one of their strongpoints. I have 2 in .22 LR - a youth model for my son and a regular one for me. They have been 100% reliable. I am not real fond of the painted receiver, but at the same time, I don't care if it gets banged around on the ATV or in my truck. I would feel pain if my Win 9422M got beat up.
