I owned one for about a year. They are really neat rifles. The 26 inch barrel can really get that velocity up. Shot pretty accurately. There is also a hole under the metal butt plate that will fit a 1 lb mercury recoil reducer. The site radius really allows long range shooting. There is aftermarket sites also.

The bad:
some of them, the action will pop open by it's self with marlin level loads(after the round has fired)

it ejects the cases with authority. so don't have your face behind the barrel when you open the action.

Really neat rifles though. I miss mine.
