Mine has been extremely reliable, accurate and fun.
I bought the first one I saw after it was announced and I believe it cost me $400 shipped to my FFL.
I’ve run a thousand or so rounds of Russian steel cased ammo and a few hundred handloads through it and haven’t had any issues.
I will share that I found it easier to get accuracy with handloads using proper .310 diameter jacketed bullets as opposed to bullets .308 diameter.
That said, I did work up a fairly accurate load using 110 grain Nosler Varmageddons and AA1680 powder that gave me about 2650 fps for an average velocity.
I found out very quickly that particular load is exceedingly effective on coyotes.
The good side:
The bad side:
I would recommend this rifle to anyone so long as they could find it at a reasonable price (especially if they are already set up with Mini 30 magazines).
