My ratings are relative. Is this among the greatest guns ever made? Of course not, but for an under $300 rifle for shooting .45-70 Gov't., I'm giving it five stars. What might you like? Mine was accurate out the box, pleasing look to the wood and metal, recoil feisty but in a good way, and a much cheaper way to five 45-70 than nearest options (when available). What might the perfectionist not like? Release lever a little loose, no automatic extraction, and vented recoil pad a little raw looking. But I still give this five stars. Manual extraction was easy, by the way. The day after picking it up from my FFL, I finished work a little early and carried it out to the farm with a handful of rounds just to check it out. After firing three, I was sorry I didn't bring the whole box. I am pleased enough to look at other Handi-Rifles in other calibers.
