I have a friend who has one and it shoots remarkably well. The groups he was shooting on a somewhat windy day at 100 yds were under an inch.The times when it was calm the groups were under and about 1/2 moa. It shoots pretty good for a factory lower cost rifle.

I bought one last year for one of my prairie dog trips and was quite pleased with the accuracy. The hammer forged barrel really looked rough ( through a borescope) and didn't foul bad at all. Mine came with bipod and a Barska scope, overall I liked the rifle. I just prefer the LRPV for most of my varmint hunting. The bolt works harder with a mag and had a couple of mags that didn't latch up real well but over all there was nothing wrong with the rifle. Would make a good one to throw around and keep in the truck. It just didn't fit "my style".

we got one and borecoated it and worked on trigger. it shoots 70gr bergers .265 all day at 100 yds. had to put 20moa rail on it and it has shot 5in groups at 900 yds. we have put up to 30 shot clip in it and they all work great.

Please dont let Erik in on this thread. It really is a close copy of the savage action though. Barrel nut, floating tang and accu-trigger type trigger.
