any good as a starter rifle for a new hunter coming up thru the ranks? any issues with them (quality or niggles) watching one on the yellow site

Heavy shoots well just heavy

Hi Scott. I've worked on some, they are accurate enough, price is generally good.

The main complaint: difficult to extract case after firing. Ask about it before buying.

is this due to the smaller ejection port or is there another (mechanical)factor?
