This brass is pretty clean, although primer pockets could be better. Necks have supposedly been chamfered and deburred but look pretty rough. My real complaint is lack of uniformity. For OAL I'm getting between 2.002" and 2.009", which makes it impossible to do uniform flash hole deburring or standard crimping. I'll have to trim them all or use the Lee factory crimper, which is an extra step either way. For CBTS I'm getting between 1.615" and 1.619". I use the Hornady comparator base with the Forster datum dial. The necks are way too tight, I can't even get a .303 Forster neck tension gauge to fit. I'm debating whether to fix it at once with a full length resizing die or just use a universal neck expander and seat according to the longest cases and have poor accuracy(i.e. just make plinking ammo the first time). Next time I'll just get range brass...

I wasn't happy with it at all out of the box. Heavy, gritty, and got terrible accuracy. After polishing the engagement surfaces and lightening the spring a bit, it's a pretty good duty trigger, especially if you shoot ammo with hard primers. Feels like a 2-stage. I'm not a huge fan of the dual-purpose trigger, but could get used to it after a while. So if you're willing to dial it in, it's a good choice for the right applications.

This is a great duty trigger. A bit rougher than expected at first but it smooths out with use or a light polish. I like to use the 4.5 # spring and bend the legs a bit to further reduce the pull weight. After that it's perfect. Also lighter than mil-spec or a drop-in by about 3/4 Oz.

Seems good quality- good mid-range size, parallax free from 30 yards, clear glass and reticle. Not built very tough though, you wouldn't want to drop it. Some people have had issues with electronic failure, apparently you have to remove the battery and re-solder the wires underneath to fix if this happens.

Within 200 yards is accurate and reliable. Bow functions work well. However not powerful enough to be reliable at longer ranges; too sensitive to target reflectivity, ambient temperature, etc. Overall I would only recommend this only for bow hunting, for rifle hunting get something more powerful.
