RUMLUVER, i bought the rifle as a favor, from a gun store that was going out of business. He sold it to me below cost since i was a pretty good customer. I liked the little rifle a lot. Very light weight, no recoil, and it would shoot 75 gr. bullets real fast. It shot under half inch, which is good for a skinny barrel. But to be honest, if it does`nt burn 100 grains of powder, i lose interest kinda quick, lol. It just would`nt make as much mist as the 30-378. The final nail in the coffin, however, after about 200 rounds, it just suddenly guit shooting. Groups opened up to almost 4 inches at 100. Swapped scopes, checked mounts, not it, cleaned it with butches bore shine, and then JB paste, did`nt help. I read they carbon up in the throat, so lapping it might have helped, but like i said, wanted something different anyway.
