I had one for a few years for indoor sporting rifle shooting (25m) toped with a Leopold vx3 6.5-20EFR target scope it was the 16 inch barrel version and could compete with any bolt action on the range I shot 4 top scores 500/500 and my average was 498/500 so yes they are dam accurate
also out of around 20,000 rounds (laupa target ammo) I had one jam I cleaned it every 400 rounds full strip and clean only takes 5 mins exactly the same as a 10/22 just 100 times better accuracy and reliability if you cant afford 2k for a full kid rifle the barrels are $450 and the trigger is about the same and fit it to a 10/22 action and it will be "almost" as good for around $1000 plus the cost of a 2nd hand 10/22 you also may want a few of the smaller bits like the charging rod etc which has interchangeable recoil springs for different ammos
