[QUOTE="JaseinMT, post: 1182934, member: 69125"] A friend of mine on a tight budget wanted to take up hunting. He got one of these in 30-06 for Christmas a few years ago. I helped him get it set up and shooting. I will say it shot pretty well with the few types of factory ammo he had purchased. The Federal 180gr Powerpoints were consistently hovering under an inch at 100yds. The 150's were about 1.25" average groups. While I was impressed with how well it shot, the magazine was a hunk of crap. We farted around with the lips over and over trying to get it to feed right. Eventually it was passable. He hunted with me that year, and found out that hunting can be a lot of work just to get where the animals are. I think he kind of gave up. Not the fault of the gun though. Other than the crappy magazine feeding issues and sub-par scope (I didn't expect it to be good), it's a decent rifle. I wouldn't pay money for one though. [/QUOTE]
