Mine is a very nice rifle. That is, it's a very nice rifle after the gentlemen at Magnaport installed their muzzle brake. Recoil was a problem, not so much now. It still lets you know when it goes "Bang" though. Accurate way better than my eyes through the Leupold 1-4 on my Hawkeye. I've got it 1.5 inches high at 100 yards, and would use it out to 200 yards with little concern.
