Wondering if anyone else has one of these bad boys.
I'm really liking mine, having a tough time with scopes tho it broke a Bushnell Banner 5 rounds in (I know it a low end optic gunna upgrade it soon have a buddies Barska on it for now)
It seems to cycle really smooth but its defiantly a rifle that loves the lube being a pump and all.
I don't suggest IMI .308 mags as the lips spread on them and have created feed problems. The gen 3 PMAGS from Magpul however run flawlessly.
Am reaching out to 650m with it but low grade ammunition and banner scope (one that warranty replaced) have limited the group and moving to reloaded brass now and a better optic hoping this will tighten it up.
 
Mine is currently waiting for me in the back of a Canada Post truck. Reports say sub-moa accuracy is possible with high quality ammunition/loads, and standard is about 1.5-2 MOA (if you are shooting for accuracy) with regular off the shelf ammo (depending on weight etc of course).

I look forward to getting mine. It will make a great compact <800m Precision rifle, and a great hunting rifle.

It is good to hear you like yours. I think it is a very interesting rifle that actually lends itself pretty well to precision shooting and hunting due to the type of action.
 
I've had mine for a while now and I'd buy it again. Very comfortable to shoot with the generous cheek surface on the oversized stock. Some cheaper brass ammo seems to require vigorous input to eject, but I have not experienced any interrupted cycles or failures. In my experience don't waist time and money adding a modified front grip either vertical or angled...I have tried a bunch and nothing feels as good as the stock Troy rail covers provided with the rifle YMMV. The ergos are good and controls are well positioned. It's a good value firearm and more accurate than I was expecting. The only downside is having to operate the action from a rested position is more disruptive than a bolt action, however the pump wins out when shouldered. Cleaning is simple once you get the hang of it.
 
Got er in my hands now. Fun to play with :p. Will at the very least make a fun hunting rifle if not med range precision rifle :)
 
I agree with Journeyman it alot smoother cycle with nothing on the quadrail.
Looking forward to using the better scope on mine and seeing how it preforms.
