Rifle seems pretty well made with decent workmanship. Wood stock pretty nice surplus condition.
Very disappointed in Centerfire Systems. Bought this rifle and it was not as listed. The specifications states that it comes with 3 mags. I ordered 1 extra mag to go with the other 3. Went to pick up from my FFL and it only had 2 mags. The one I paid for and the one that it came with. Contacted Centerfire by email and was told it was a typo even though all the RAC308-C rifles that had non matching numbers was listed the same. The 3 mags is the only reason I ordered this rifle instead of the M77 rifle with matching numbers which was advertised as only coming with one mag. So to make a long story short I just got burnt on 2 M77 mags valued at $100. Pretty nice way to treat a loyal 30+ year customer. Cancelled current layaway. Can not trust Centerfire Systems now after this happened. Will be taking future business to Atlantic Firearms.
