I purchased this rifle over a year ago and have enjoyed it immensely and it has become my favorite range toy. It has been 100% reliable and is a blast to shoot. So far out of the 700 rounds or so I have put through it I have had 0 FTE's or FTF. The engineering on it is really amazing and because it is a piston driven setup it is a breeze to clean & maintain. The only real down side I have experinced is like I'm sure most will agree is the trigger. It was really heavy & very gritty. Not sure what the original pull weight was but I would guess it is in the 11 lbs range. I installed a Neu-trigger setup in the trigger pack and that made it much smoother and a bit lighter. It is a $25 fix and I'm not sure why FN doesn't do something like this from the start. Buds was awesome with really fast shipping, received my rifle in about 4 days from the time I ordered it. This is one of several purchases I have made thru Buds and I will continue to use them as they almost always have the best prices & stock I have seen.
