Buds:As always, praise for great price, communication and well packaged for shipping. Takes about 2 weeks from the time I place order until it's at my FFL for pickup (ACH withdrawl method to get "cash discount") could be faster but I'm sure Buds has a reason for "holding" money for a few days.
Gun: No cracked stock or canted barrel as others have had. STOCK looks great and is very comfortable and functional ("wide" bag needed for front rest), LOP very comfortable for me. Cheekrest could be a bit higher for my scope setup. TRIGGER is nice and crisp breaking at just over 2# according to my RCBS scale. BOLT is loose when fully retracted, a lot of wiggle so to speak, but this doesn't impair functioning. Initially very tight bolt lockup but it is becoming rather smooth and polished after a few hundred rounds. MAG/FEEDING works flawlessly with all mags I've tried, 30&20rd P-Mags, 10, 20 & 30rd C-prod, and (most surprisingly!) the best functioning mag was the crappy/cheap ($3) Thermolds that I categorized as junk. Mag release is small and tight but smoothing out nicely. SHOOTABILITY, awaiting some good Redding dies so I haven't worked-up any handloads yet however, Mil-Surp 55gr and 62 grain are grouping 1.5"-2.5" at 100yd. And I'm too cheap to buy quality factory ammo when I can 'roll my own' in a few days.
Overall it is a great value for the purchase price and that it feeds well from AR mags is a Win-Win!
