This is one of the best Factory stocks on a lower cost rifle that I've encountered.
It's a pretty pretty good trigger really one of the better ones at a factory that I felt.
There's a hair of creep um could be a little bit better but we're talking a reasonably budget rifle.
I give it something like a 10 or a 8 out of 10.
It's probably one of my favorite rifles in terms of just simple ruggedness it does its job.
