It is a ultra-short action, so small and light. The 762x39 round can be incredibly accurate - if you don't shoot bulk ammo through a AK or SKS. The round itself has enough NRG for deer/pigs out to 150+yards and 100 yards is a really long shot here in Florida.
Was going to get a Henry single shot in 30-30 but just to get 2 boxes of factory ammo to start reloading with would've matched the cost of this rifle, and I'm sitting on several thousands of rounds of x39, including about 500 in reloadable cases. Reports are of 1.5-2moa with the steel case crap and sub-moa with high quality reloads/factory ammo
