Are they any good?

Check the model, some magazines are now very expensive to source if you need a spare.

Recoil lug arrangements can be a bit funky on them too.

Personally would not buy one, they stopped production for a reason (probably labour and material cost), and generally heavy brutes.

Compare it to a Rem 700 which has known problems but also known fixes.

Look here and find out what model you are being offered: https://www.optics-trade.eu/blog/tik...nting-systems/
