I've shot over 200 rounds through this rifle with no jams. It's very accurate and I can consistently get 1 groups at 100 yards.
My primary use for this rifle is deer and bear hunting. It's an accurate woods rifle at an attractive price point.
My one disappointment is the weak plastic magazine lock design. I took it hunting last week, and just as I was heading out the spring locking mechanism literally fell apart in my hand, even before it went into the rifle. Take a back up mag and tape with you if you are hunting. Another hunting buddy of my paints his magazines brightly so he can find them if they fall out in the woods.
A great gun, but needs work on the plastic mag lock design. Metal would be a more reliable upgrade.
