The Mark V is a big action, well made. The factory trigger can to tuned to a very nice pull, but you have to take it all apart to make the adjustments. Instructions are on line. And, if that fails, Timney makes one.

The barrel is by Criterion, a Krieger owned company. It's not the cut rifled barrel sold under the Krieger name. From what I've read, the Criterion is a button rifled tube. The ones I've looked at thru the Hawkeye borescope are very nice with no machine marks. And they do shoot good.
