I shot one recently, and I have to say that I really like the rifle. The action was a bit rough in the beginning, but has smoothed considerably as it has been functioned. I fired a 500 gr. handload at 2050 fps and it shot low at 50 yds. As the back sight is at its maximum elevation, the front sight must be shortened by probably 1 mm or so. We are considering attaching a 3-leaf express sight and using it as an iron-sighted rifle exclusively. It isn't D&T for a receiver sight, else I would be inclined to attach a nice Lyman 48 that I have.
