Have owned three and all been shooters....223 / 221 fb and a 204 ruger. Just like most remmy's, a little trigger job was needed and I did bed the fb just because. I think it's one of the best little varmint truck guns around. The fb really shines in this size gun to me.
Dad has one in a 7-08 that he uses for rattling and walking around the ranch as well.
