[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1664926, member: 94491"] I had one in 7rm-- wouldn't buy another one barrel was super rough from the factory, always wanted to copper foul real easy..put over 500 rounds through it, tried 5 different bullets, 4 powders, 2 types of brass, 3 different die sets, 4 different primers, different seating depths, neck turning, you name it, I even filled the forearm to stiffen and skim bed the action--could never find a load any better than 1.25 moa--waste of time and $ in my shoes, for a general beginners rifle it will work ( but I feel there are better values out there). I had a few different kinds of factory ammo that would shoot at 1.5-1.75 moa, good out to 300 yards max for hunting accuracy i my eyes I see some good reviews on them, so they must be hit/miss for accuracy some claim they are good basis for custom builds as the receivers are tubular design and pretty strong and use a barrel nut nut style like savage. but I feel there are better options if you are going to be doing a custom build, as they don't have much aftermarket support for parts. as far as the one the OP got for $75 chainsaw trade--shoot it and see if it shoots well, if not get rid of it. just 1 opinion though [/QUOTE]
