lots of people like them? LOL, thats why I bought one, I love the look of them, but can't afford to shoot my 8mm one, so I got one that shoots 5cents a round instead of over a buck a round.
I can't really find anything bad about them from world wide reviews on different forums. Sure not everyone likes the wood finish, and there are some small rough stuff about the metal work, and of course its not really a mauser. But they are supposed to be accurate, reliable and fun. And reasonably cheap.
