If you own one or have handled one, tell me about it. How's the trigger, the accuracy, reliability, etc... Pros and cons please. Thanks!

I fondled one this past weekend and thought it felt pretty good, came up to my shoulder naturally and felt real nice.
 
If it feels good for you, then don't ask others' opinion. :)

I had one, it was my first rifle. I loved it. It is really a nice for hunting, but the trigger and the accuracy definitely does not make it a benchrest rifle, don't buy it for target shooting. (at least not if you use factory ammo)

Very, Very love it. Shoot great, fast action, low recoil, etc..
kill many buck with.

After 4-5 shot, the barrel come very hot and the accurancy drop a little.

but love this rifle
 
Some reviews I've read online state they are not tack drivers and the triggers are a little stiff, not a "target trigger" but a heavy "hunting trigger". If you own one, what are you grouping at 100yrds? Are the trigger workable or are there any replacement triggers for them?
Thanks!
 
with factory ammo it shoots 2-3 inches at 100 yards. It seems this wasn't only my experience. With factory ammo it is capable of 1 MOA.
You could always work on the trigger, but why would you do that? For a hunting gun it is a good trigger. For target shooting it is a bit heavy and stiff. I think there is no need for a target hair trigger on a hunting gun.
 
All three that I have or had where 1.5 MOA or better with factory ammo.

Triggers are not as nice as the good bolts that I have or had but still very decent.

I had to buy a set of small base dies for the 300 WSM to reload for it, but both of the 7MM WSM's where ok with the regular dies.

No reliability problems with any of them.
