I've got one of those but in more ratty condition - it doesn't have the cleaning rod and the handguard screws are badly corroded and the corresponding screw holes in the timber are worn/rotted so the handguard flops around at the receiver end, but otherwise stays put and out of way of the rear sight thanks to the barrel band holding it in place.

Also my muzzle was worn thanks to improper repeated cleaning using a pull through (wasn't me) and most shots would miss the target at 50yards (those that did hit were going sideways). I tried a counterbore (fixed the accuracy a bit but not as good as hoped) but ended up cutting off the bad 1/4" end of the barrel, and now it shoots as good as any of my other ex-mil bolt actions.

Ditto on the noise - I wouldn't want to fire it without any hearing protection. It also flashes with the (relatively) slower powders - I noticed this when I used AR2209 reloads through it.

I've always wanted to try it for pig hunting (especially when they are spotted from the vehicle and you need to get out quick) but I've never done it yet. I generally end up using my Remington 700 0.308 though. I have an unmodified Israeli Mauser in 308 that I can use the same loads in, and I take this as a back-up rifle in case the Remington packs it in. I have shot some goats with the Israeli.
