I hated mine till I was able to fix the factory dmged on receipt front sights. After the fix this rifle is very accurate. Had to refille a grove for a new sight blade. I mounted a rcstar red dot on it a couple weeks ago and it lined up perfectly without any adjustments.
I recommend this rifle and even better a visual inspection. I doubt we will see more these rifles from what I gathered when I bought mine were clearance of stock that would have been sold in the states in the late 90's but Clinton caused them to be sold here instead due to the Chinese ban. I am happy wish it was more properly assembled/inspected prior to sale.

I'm glad I grabbed mine, great little rifles. Mine flirts with half inch groups at 50m with a cheap rim fire scope.

Doesn't like good ammo tho, runs best so far on thunderbolts
Mine also has a terrible front sight. I ended up finding some high rings and putting on a scope. Its great now.
What did you do to fix it? I cant seem to punch the front sight out at all...

Mine does dime sized groups at 25yd with that crappy Nstar reddot. The trigger is better than my rugers and even better than a SA Browning

I used a brass punch and tapped out the wonky front sight. The blade was angled about 30degrees plus it was bent as the front where the blade groove slides. I carefully tapped out the front sight with some WD40's help. Then found a replacement front sight blade (received from retailer) I filed the front sight groove to fit the new front sight blade slider (very tightly so it doesn't move), then tapped it in with a brass punch. DO NOT OVER FILE, this will result in a loose front sight.
This process was very tedious and I went at it figuring at worst if I broke off the front sight I could mount a scope or red-dot easily.
PM if you have more questions. I put a NC-star red dot on the rifle a couple weeks ago and it was zero'ed off the hop and stayed that way with Remington bulk ammo.
