[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1664767, member: 41338"] I got one in 308. Had a faulty magazine and wasn't very accurate with Federal Match 168 gr. ammo. I got it as a project gun anyway but wanted to shoot it just in case it was one of those rare "Wednesday" production type things. It wasn't. Because it has a barrel nut, I ordered a Criterion barrel in 6.5x47 on a Boyd's Stock. PT&G bottom metal, EGW base and a SWFA 3x15 scope. Left the trigger alone as it was good enough. I even found a trick little screw-on tactical bolt knob on ebay. Turned out to be a great little fun rifle to shoot mid range stuff on the cheap (actually, nothing is cheap about a project rifle). On your gun, I'd shoot it and see. Even the worst guns they make now-a-days out shoot all those beauties ("hunting accurate") those expert gun writers raved about in the 80's. [/QUOTE]
