No reason at all not to buy the gun! I am a very sastisfied Lyman Mustang owner.
I equipped mine with a 4X Bushnell scope since I did not feel the need for a variable power on this rifle.
I shoot 120 grains of Goex Pinnacle FFFg behind a 250gr Hornady SST and sabot. Accuracy is very good with consistent groups of 1 1/2 inches at 100 yd.
The 209 primer holder has a magnet built in that literally sucks the primer in and prevents it from falling out if the barrel is tilted up before you close the action. A rather neat feature!
I actually like the looks of the stock and the laminate wood grain finish. I'm so sick of those black synthetic stocks that have no soul and character (although really fine functionally). I own several of those black guns.
The recoil is really mild due to good stock design and the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.
The only minor negative is the trigger, while breaking at around 3 lbs, it does have some creep to it that I hope goes away in time.
For the money it is a good value and should serve you well.
