Simple and agricultural but a solid rifle. I think they are robust and easliy fiddled and FAC they are good but so many other manufacturers have superceeded them. They claimed initiative but as far as I could see... the recipe is pretty much the same as it ever was.
A fine 4ifle that lacks any finess and died as evolution sped past.
But the triggers were really crap....
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
