Rifle is not bad, but for those thinking it has something incredible to it, the one bonus is the 5R rifling on the barrel. Other than that, the barrel is phosphate coated, and the carrier key is the only chromed area.
I would really like the 5R 18" barrel; that would be a great compromise length rifle right there!  |
According to S&W the barrel is melonited... there are differing opinions, but it seems it has all the advantages as chrome lining with none of the disadvantages
