By all means shoot it and see. You may have the good one they let out. It was several years ago that I had that rifle and hopefully they have stepped up their QC.

Both of those that I had had potential to be shooters even with their obvious issues, but with said issues I never bothered to work up a load for either as with the "tough" response and the fact that the issues made it through their QC in the first place it just made me loose all faith in them.

Shoot yours and tell us how it does. I hope the best.
