One of my shooting friends has one, one of the "older" ones I guess. 1 in 12 twist. It came factory free floated, however we put a rubber shim between the barrel and the stock about 2 inches from the forend. With just free floating, the groups would string. With the pressure point it shoots clover leaf groups. Very smooth strong action. If you are in the market for a 223 varmint rifle, I wouldn't think twice about buying it.
