I have one in .308 and never looked back. With 180gr Hornady bullets I've printed 1/4" groups at 100 yards. I have to do my part, of course, but my rifle is insanely accurate.
Now, the action was not very smooth when I bought it, but after a year or so it smoothed right out, and now is a very slick action. The trigger is nothing special, but it's not horrible either.
I use mine to hunt everything. It's the only hunting rifle I own, and don't even have a desire to buy another. You don't need to spend a lot on a rifle - if you have some extra, get a good scope.
I'd buy the gun in a heartbeat, if I was you.
