[QUOTE="duckhunter175, post: 1743525, member: 89164"] I have a buddy who swears by them... owns 3 currently and had several others. That rifle with factory match ammo (in the 6.5cm) and he had run that rifle out to 700 with no issues. Having handled a few here are my thoughts. Pros 1. Price- hard to beat what you get at that price in terms of weight, accuracy, look 2. Aesthetic- really nice looking rifle 3. If you get one, make SURE it is a new production model with the FAST twist barrel if it is available in the cartridge you desire. Cons 1. The standard stock stinks- it is thin and really low- it needs either a stock pack or Karstens cheek piece to get proper positioning. 2. Stock finish- the finish on the stock is not durable, I have yet to have a Browning firearm with this style of finish that doesn't rub/peel. 3. Metric muzzle threads- need an adapter if you don't like the radial brake (I think the new MAX is the only one factory threaded for 5/8x24) [/QUOTE]
