An excellent value
I own a few of these rifles. Accuracy is excellent. Sub-half-moa with handloads. These rifles like the 150-155 grain Sierra Match King bullet. Excellent adjustable trigger. Good ergonomics. The best part is the barrel. The quality of machining is very close to a match barrel, which makes it easy to clean. Tip: because the mag well is made of plastic, do not tighten the action screws more than 35 inch-lb. Best accuracy on my rifle is at 30 inch-lb. You won't find a better rifle in that price range. The Canadian Flag paint job looks better in person than on the pictures. Tip: install a slip-on recoil pad on the buttstock, as it is designed for an AR-15, not for .308. Other than that, the buttstock is well designed, with a wide cheek rest that spreads the recoil on a larger area than some other buttstock/cheekrest combos I have used. I shoot the rifle without the muzzle brake.
