Yeah this GUN ROCKS! You can build it up, similar to what I did, for less than the Sniper and you basicly have the same rifle, just not as flashy. I kill a doe and an 8 pointer with it, 100 yards (give a take a few yards), not to mention the scope I mounted is AWESOME. Can't go wrong with Leopold!
For the money, build up this gun. I only had to pay for the gun, magazines, and muzzle and having it attached. I also bought the Harris bipod and attached it myself (so that saved a few $$$).
But yes indeedy...AWESOME RIFLE!
