John.
I just bought one in 9.3x62 but dont have my permit yet.
Looked at it at QGE last week before flying out.
Was a lot better than I expected for $535. Barrel is quiet thin and feels "lively" in the hands.
Just wanted a work rifle for on the bike and to rattle around in my work ute.
Will put a 4x40 Nikon on it that I have.

They make some interesting stuff like 6.5x57,6mm rem,8x57 and 7x57.
