Just wondering if anyone has one of these rifles, and if they could give a quick review please

 

Cheers

there is a review in last weeks shooting times I think

[killer_pigeon]

i tried one when i was buying mine, it was good gun but i found the accuracy ok but not brilliant

 

I coulnt find one in heavy varmint barrel but tried the normal barrel instead, plus they dont usually come screw cut for mod so there a bit extra expense.

 

It comes with a rotary magazine which is ok but if its anything like my mates Ruger the springs wear out on it quite quick, so that put me off a bit.

 

I use browning shotguns all day long so wanted to like the T-bolt but just wasnt up to scratch in my personal opinion

 

i settled on Anschutz 1517 in the end, paid a bit more but worth every penny and the accuracy is hole on hole perfect

I have not seen the target/varmint for sale in the UK either

 

Not seen any bad reviews on the mag, YET, so it might be ok

 

Thanks for your input mate
