If anyone has second thoughts about buying one of these rifles, don't think twice.... buy one.
I reloaded some 420 gc cast with Marlin level loads, with only one scope correction after bore sighting, this rifle shoots into the same hole.
Even with the muzzle brake removed, there was almost no recoil due to the excellent buttpad CVA puts on their rifles.
I was going to buy a 35 Remington in a different brand, I'm glad I waited.
I have a bear tag that I am going to fill asap.
