    Got mine back 0n 6/11/15. Put a Weaver scope on it that I have had for about two years but never used. Went to the range and fired a lot of rounds. The scope will not adjust either vertically or horizontally. CRAP!!! Went home and removed the scope and cleaned the rifle. At least the trigger seems to work okay now. Got a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12X44 scope and put it on. Again went to the range and sighted in the gun with the new scope. Temperature yesterday at the range was about 95 with no wind. Found that when the gun gets hot, it turns into a single shot rifle. Sometimes it will eject a shell and sometimes it won't it won't. Sometimes it will feed in a new round and sometimes it won't. Sometimes the trigger won't reset (due to heat I assume). I let it cool down while I fired another rifle for a while. When I started firing it again, it was okay until it got hot again. It's also obvious it is not a 'tack driver'. Also at my age, I'm not a sniper.

    EDIT: The CCI A17 ammo for this rifle is very dirty.......VERY dirty. Also, it blows so much out when it ejects the brass that I would not recommend it for a left handed shooter.
