I am really like my .243 XS7 so far. I don't shoot from the bench at all so I can't tell you if you can play connect the dots with it but in the field I have hit what I have aimed at out to about 300 yards and thats all I need from it. That is with the cheapest off the shelf Remington and Winchester ammo available. I overpaid on mine because I bought it on a whim for a varminting trip. Still $340 for it packaged with a cheap scope feels like a great deal for how nice it shoots. It is like getting one of the nicer Savages for less. The only thing I don't really like about it is the plastic trigger guard. I might have to give the steel Rem ADL mod posted above a try. The extraction isn't very powerful. The cases pretty much fall out of the action. At first I didn't like this but I found it easier to keep track of my brass in the field.
My trigger came set perfect for field use. I adjusted it down about a quarter of a turn but I decided that was too light and put it back.
