I bought one this year to replace a .222 that I sold. To make a long story short, I love it. I've killed several coyotes and a cat with it. It handles real nice and is a lot more accurate than I am. Would rather have a hinged floorplate (or better yet a clip) and steel trigger guard etc. but it's definitely a keeper. My trigger needed a little work but it's no trouble to adjust.

Same here. Its a great shooting rifle and a lot lighter than my .243, so carrying it in the field is easy. I have flipped a few coyotes with it and none have untracked. Still working on that first bobcat!.

Hey Joe
Don't believe em! I'm not a great shot but mine will shoot under an inch with factory loads. And that's with me shooting
