My son purchased one of the Norinco ATDs several years ago. We went to some local steel 22 matches a few times and the first time there, he placed first place in about 30 shooters using his Norinco. It has never had any problems with function. No they are not well finished but they are 400-500 dollars less that the real Browning. We have both had the Bruno copies of the Bolt guns in 22 LR for years and they are amazing on the accuracy. He has not put a scope on the Norinco so I will not state anything on accuracy as I do not like open sights. Everything I own expect my dads hand me down Model 90 has a scope on top. The Norinco should be a lot of fun, we shoot a lot of steel, both 22 and high power. Fun hearing the "ping".
