Mine is the one that is not supposed to be in the US. It does not have the funky target stock it is similar to the American stock, but it does have the heavy 25.6 inch threaded barrel. There were two problems with my rifle. The inletting was exceptional generous but I solved that by installing pillars and glass bedding the action. I have only use factory ammo todate and the best that I can do is about 1 MOA. But a lot of that is me. I shake like a twig in a hurricane (might be my age, I don't know). The other problem is that with some magazines ( I have three), the second round does not want to feed. I have to bump the bottom of the mag and all is well. It only happens on the second round on one or more of the magazines. To be truthful, I have been so caught up in learning to shoot better that I have not done much in the way of sorting out problems.
Another issue is that only 5 round mags are available at this time. I seems that it would not be too difficult to make a 10 rounder by someone that was handy with sheet metal. The mags are very simple in shape with only one welded seam. All things considered, I am very pleased with the rifle and the cartridge.
The issue with the grouping is complicated because I have to shoot left handed due to a cataract on my right eye plus troublesome arthritis in my right hand making it difficult to tell how much pressure I am applying to the trigger. I hope that this will inspire others to comment. The rifle is very well made, in my opinion, and I am not sorry for buying it.
Thanks for the reply sir.
Lol we are talking about the same rifle lol. The newer varmint model is the same action as the model with the big funky target stock but it has the American stock on it and the 25.5 inch threaded barrel.
I'm fine with 5 round mags. In fact I plan on flush fitting an extra mag for hunting.
Sounds like your follower is hanging in some of your mags. I will keep an eye on that when I get mine in.
I'm planing on trying the factory stock but will most likely drop it in a band c stock.
I will probably rebend the bolt handle so I can have more scope clearance as well.
