Anyone have any experience with these. I'm really considering buying one of these. Just wanted to see what you guys think. They look cool. Do they shoot as well as they look?

The dude on predator quest uses it and seems to do fine. I think it would make a hell of a pickup gun.

He doesn't live far from me, about 30 miles. I don't know him, but I also don't put a lot of credit in someone that pushes sponsors. I was hoping to hear from someone that has one.

They shoot fantastic. Buddy of mine has one in .308. I was very impressed.

Worth the 700 bucks you think? I'm not afraid of the cost, I just don't want to piss money away on a fad.

I have one in .308 with the long/heavy barrel. Bolt is a little sticky but could not be broken in yet. Stock is not ideal for a bipod as it is all plastic and quite flexible. Shoots very well and the recoil is very light for a .308 bolt gun.

I'd put the money toward a Remington 700 Police Tactical, myself. Couple hundred more, and you've got a rock solid, fucking legendary bolt gun that'll shoot circles around a lot of other bolt rifles.

Or buy an SPS tactical for the same money or a little less. The Howa is supposed to be a good rifle, not sure about that stock though.
