What are you wanting to know?

Accuracy is average 1" with factory fodder, can get it down into the 1/2" - 3/4" range with handloads, average trigger, nothing spectacular, fit and finish is fantastic. They are easy to shoot, but some complain about cleaning them, never has been a problem for me and I have not had any issues either with ftf or fte.

Same family as the FNAR, can benefit from accurizing tricks, trigger and some.barrel tricks, but not much else can be done.

I have 2, one in 325wsm and one in 308, and I also have a FNAR in 308, the triggers have been reworked by Mark at Short Action Customs on the 325 and FNAR, the Shorttrac 308 is bone stock and still shoots sub 1" groups and doesn't like light fast bullets, but shoots great with anything in the 180+ range.

Contact Mark at Short Action Customs, he will tune it up and make it really nice, no different than a shotgun trigger
