To my eye it looks better than newer rifles of its type. It was reviewed as strong and accurate when released but as having the handle to far forward for DG use. Also, the railed bolt came back too far to work with your face on the comb. As with other types, barrels could only be exchanged within calibre groups. One writer lamented the lack of one in .425 WR that might be swapped for standard-calibre barrels. I'd expect magazine problems to scuttle that idea, however.
