I'm giving 5 stars because, for what this gun is, it's well worth the money. Keep in mind this is an entry level rifle, so if you're want really long range accuracy, you might be disappointed. Also know that I'm certainly not an expert in marksmanship. So for the pros (so far) with this rifle............... 1) working through Buds has always been quick, reliable and friendly, so hat's off to them. 2) the price is as reasonable as can be expected. You pay additionally for sales tax, FFL fee and background check. So expect to be out $450-$475ish. 3) didn't take long to get dialed in at 100 yds. By the time I had adequately adjusted the trigger pull tension, I was hitting good groups in/near the bullseye. Although in more precise hands I feel as if this gun could be accurate at 500 yds. 4) I like the buttstock style because it provides a pistol grip like hold, which I prefer. As for the cons so far........... 1) the scope was loose on arrival 2) the scope rings were too low, so when working the bolt, the scope would make this movement awkward but not impossible. I would recommend getting higher rings 3) the trigger pull is atrocious, on the Internet most people reported 6 lbs or more, (although I didn't use any testing devices to confirm). After obtaining my YouTube gunsmithing license, I cut off some of the trigger return spring and the tension is significantly less and adequate for me. 4) the bolt can be hard to work when ammunition is in the magazine. It's not a smooth movement. It's a new rifle with maybe 60 rounds through it so far and I use pretty cheap ammo off the shelf, so I expect this to improve over time or with better ammo. None of the cons are deal breakers for me because I know what I was getting into with a cheaper gun. Unfortunately I was not able to upload any pictures to show group improvements. Overall I would definitely recommend this rifle to budget shooters or any newcomers to the world of marksmanship.

It's a great low cost rifle, Lefty love it
