I have one in .357 mag that I bought for Cowboy Action Shooting, when I used to do that. I've never checked it for group size, etc., but it always did the job in CAS when I did my job. It was rough at first, even though I bought it used, but since it smoothed out, it is great. People have actually asked me who did the work on that. The only issue I have ever had with it was that I had to work the lever with some real authority when shooting semi-wadcutters (which cost me some points in CAS, and frustration). It's a great rifle and I would never sell it. It was my go-to gun for home defense, and I have even equipped it with a leather cuff that holds a tactical flashlight; cowboy tactical.
