Great rifle!
I, too, couldn't resist the bargain-basement prices on the i-bolt so decided to give it a try this past season. Best danged 30-06 I own, and I own a few. This is an honest-to-goodness hunting tool, maybe not as pleasing to the eye as some would prefer, but an accurate, reliable, well-built rifle. I topped mine with an illuminated reticle Muller scope for less than 150 bucks, and I prefer the entire package to anything else I have in the cabinet. It also sports a Turner Biothane all-weather shooting sling, not a carry strap. It kind of reminds me of a good woman who may not be "eye candy," but can cook, dance, mend the fence, and paint the barn. (I'm kidding, here.)
I won't bother mentioning my data when sighting in the rifle because you wouldn't believe me; I hardly believe it myself. Suffice it to say I no longer equate accuracy with price or reputation. The i-bolt does it all---on the cheap.
So the Winchester, Weatherby, and Savage are getting a little break as this honey-of-a-rifle goes with me afield.
