I have one in .223, no problems chambering any ammo, nice and smooth.
Love the safety and the bolt release button allowing unloading while the safety is on.
Hated the trigger, min it would adjust to is 3.5lb, clean and crisp but too heavy, turned out to be a very easy and free fix.
My only real complaint is the factory threaded barrel.........
M14 x 1mm if to large a thread for the light profile barrel, as it leaves nearly no shoulder.
On top of that it was not concentric to the bore, and the shoulder was also out of square to the thread and not properly formed.
I feel for the money it should have been better, but a decent re-thread in 1/2" x 20 tpi not only fixed it, it left a nice crown
not the abortion that browning hacked into it.
I would certainly buy another when I go for a bigger calibre, but would factor in the cost of a proper threading job, and the near 400 mile round trip to get it done.
Neil.
