Just recently purchased this from Bud's. Transaction went smooth, just a little confusion on the part of UPS and my part, but no big deal. As for the rifle, just got the scope mounted and will try to get out and sighted in shortly (depending on ammo supplies!) I've seen a lot of complaints on the web about the pro-trigger that Rem. is using now. I can say that it is definitely not as adjustable as the Sav. accu-trigger, but it does break clean with no take up.or creep. Rem. says it can be adjusted down to around 3 lbs. I believe it's closer to 4 lbs. Many complaints about the hex screw sticking out of the trigger to far and rubbing on the finger. This is true. I solved the problem by filing down the head of the screw and the cone shaped end, being careful not to touch the threads. Now it can be adjusted to its lightest setting without protruding from the trigger. The stock is flimsy in the forend, but I already knew this from experience with my hogue 10/22 stock. Some judicious sanding in the forend channel takes care of most of this. All in all, happy with the rifle and with how Buds handled everything, will definitely deal with Buds in the future.

This rifle is fairly accurate out of the box. I put a 4-16x50mm Millet tactical scope on it with Millet rings and a 15 MOA Weaver base. The barrel is free-floating all except for the very end of the forearm. It touches the barrel in this area, with or without pressure on it. The Hogue over-mold stock also seems to be a little weak and allows for twist when you load up on the bipod. With that being said, I shot sub MOA at 100yds with no problem with this rifle with 55 grain BTHP. I also shot Hornady 75 grain Superformance Match BTHP through this rifle with less than pleasing results. It appears the 1:9 twist rate will not stabilize the 75 grain bullet (which I was already suspicious of). With the 75 grain I shot 2 MOA at best @ 100yds. My plan from the beginning was to change the stock on this rifle, which I will do, and I suggest for anyone else purchasing this rifle. As always, I am pleased with Bud's customer service during this purchase.

Great gun. After getting this rifle sighted in I was able to 5 rounds touching on numerous occasions. All shooting was done with factory 55gr ammo. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the Hogue stock isn't great. Has a very sticky feels and is crazy hard to clean. Everything will stick to the stock (grass, dirt, gun oil, and styrofoam from box). As soon as I got the gun I dropped the barreled action into a new H-S Precision stock. Great improvment over the Hogue.

Buds was also great to deal with. I did everything online. Ordered the gun Saturday night and I had it in my hands before noon the following Wednesday. Great service. Will order more from Bud's.
