i got one of these last year in 7.62 x 39 calibre
fired my first shot at the range and the rifle jammed. as in the action wouldn't open after taking the shot. a few jerks later it opened. took my second shot and the same thing. jammed again. this time it didn't open at all. took it back to GC and they managed to open it only to realize that the firing pin got bent. it appeared that the firing pin did not retract after hitting the primer. was using barnaul 125G HP's. GC exchanged the rifle for a savage + some cash.
but i have only heard nice things about this model. it's light and only 100cm long. single shot doesn't bother me. will go for one in 223 @ebf. yes you are right this one's a IZH 18MH .223
