the gun if i am not mistaken is made by norinco, imported by keng's in atlanta. the qaulity is very good, the stock is one nice piece of wood, the fit and finish is above average for some of the chinese guns. as far shooting, it is one of the finer rimfire bolt rifles i have shot. my o bought used and the trigger was already tuned to 10 oz, and it was bedded, but at 25 yards it is not hard to shoot hole for hole. the rifle will shoot much better than i shoot it, and if my groups are a little wider it is only because of me. i have shot 1/4 inch groups so far with using fed 711 ammo at 50 yds., and dyna's shoot almost as well. believeme if get it you will love it!!
