I bought this rifle about a year ago, and love it. It's chambered in .270 and loves those expensive Winchester 130 gr. Ballistic Silvertips, and does quite well with Remington 130 gr. Core-Lokts. She is a real decent shooter out to 250 yds. haven't shot any 150's through yet but plan on that in the future. I outfitted it as so:
1. Simmons ATV 4.5-14X40mm Target scope
2. Stoney Point Target Knobs
3. Butler Creek Flip-Up scope Cover
4. Low Mount Leupold rings
5. Harris Bi-Pod
6. Super Sling
7. Slip-on 8 Shell Holder Butt Cuff
8. 1 Spare Magazine
She is my prized rifle at the moment until I can get a Remington 700 Police .308 Rifle for some long Range shooting. I haven't had one hiccup from this rifle and she will shoot POA all day even when the barrel gets a little warm. She is going to get a few woodchucks under her belt when I get home. For $350 new, I am very pleased with her and may never part ways. I really can't comment on field testing because I baby her when I target shoot. She comes out of her case for target duty, and when I'm done she goes right back in, until I can give her a good cleaning at home. I haven't done any special breaking in of this rifle and she shot great the day she came home. I hear a lot of people complain that the rifle looks and feels cheap, but I don't think so. I never have any intention of big game hunting with this rifle, but from a strict target/varmint standpoint I can say it is worth the money. I want to give the New .300 Win Mag a shot and here it kicks real nice.... :twisted: I am a big boy and recoil doesn't really bother me. I guess thats why I'm drawn to those 3" Mag Turkey Loads too. :wink:
