    Not the M12 but have an M18 that I really like, mines in .308 though.

    I have one in 308. Accurate reliable rifles.
    They are built like tanks, reminds me of the Ruger M77 series, but more refined.

    That one Tracy has is good buying. Had a think about it myself, just a question of twist rate for me. Had one in 308 and one in 270. Superb trigger, points like a shot gun, accuracy is assured. A bit on the tubby side through the mag area and over all a little heavy if you hunt mountain country. Don't bank on barrel or cartridge change.
