Its a really good deal. I looked into getting one for awhile and the cheapest I could find one was $1400. There was a couple things that turned me away from them. One was its a single shot and I dont really care to hunt with one. The other was the twist they come with wont stabilize the heavy 140gr bergers according to what berger says. Other than that you would probably be limited to the 120 130gr range of bullets and you could probably take game out to 800. I didn't run the numbers just a guess. I heard people were running the heavier bullets fine but I didn't want to chance it. Every one I have talked to loves em and they come with a .5moa guarantee at 100. Pretty tough to beat. Good Luck!
