I've always thought it was a cool rifle. However I personally don't have much experience with it. I will say that they didn't have the greatest rep at the gun shop I worked at. The senior guys there reported that there were some jamming issues with them and it was a little pickier on ammo. I had heard differently and that it was very dependable, however I don't have anything to really back this up. Personally I think it looks like a lot of fun and it feels quite well in the shoulder.
