Hein is a good middle level builder, from what I have seen. Clearly better than Dakota or Empire. But not in the same fit and finish class as the top makers in the American Custom Gunmakers Guild.

The Hein actions I have seen were basically upsided model 70s, although there was talk of them building true M98's too.

I would much sooner trust my life to a Hein than an out of the box model 70 or CZ550. But all guns need to be thoroughly tested before you trust your life to them.
