I had the privilage to shoot this rifle and all i can say is wow. Follow up shots are easy and the recoil is minimal for a caliber this size. The accuracy is amazing for a semi-auto, it groups like a good bolt action. The use of aluminum and titanium make it light enough to take hunting.

I have had the opportunity to fire this weapon. Recoil is minimal and easy to handle. It is obviously a well made weapon and feels solid in your hands. Customer service and communication with the company is very good. No negative issues to report.
