Hmmm...It's definitely a good looking rifle. And from everything I have seen, it has the needed power and accuracy for small game hunting and pesting. But "Ultimate Sporter" ? I'm a little skeptical on that claim. To me (and this is just my opinion) "sporter" means hunting. 10.5 lbs seems just a little heavy to be toting around in the forest all day. The weight may be helpful on the bench, but a hindrance in hunting. At this price point, I would also want an anti double load, and a safety I could see or feel more readily. But that's if I was buying it. Winning it? - whole different thing.
