Stock: The fit is great. It's a wooden stock painted with a textured paint. The finish is poor. The areas around the bottom plate and safety look like they were milled out using a dull bit in under 1 second.

Barrel: 22 inches with flutes. The barrel is painted with a similar textured paint.

Bolt: Considerable amount of slop or play in the bolt. Again the textured paint is found on parts of the bolt. This leads to a gritty feel when cycling the bolt. A grinding wheel with wire wheel brush will remedy this problem.

Trigger: I do not prefer this trigger. I regularly shoot a savage 110, sako trg 22, and rem 700. The accutrigger does not even compare. The trigger was adjusted to 2.5 lbs. When firing I can hear and feel the spring bind up before the sear releases.

Ammo:
Eley Match
Lapua Polar Biathlon
Wolf match extra

Gave me the tightest groupings @ 100yds.


For the price this is a great little rifle. I bought it for a trainer to use while my .308 cools down. It does its job and looks and operates as a ~400 rifle should.
