Turbot - I own a Stalker and love it. It is becoming the first thing I reach for. Sodbuster - YES , the barrel is a little on the thin side so two, maybe three shots then I let it cool for a bit, maybe blast a little compressed air down the tube to help. The guns have some great features like the bolt handle angle plus its short throw, the neat mag clip too but are you aware of the trigger adjustment??? It is GREAT! Just take off the two screws on the trigger guard and you will see the set screw. Turn it clockwise to decrease pull. I adjusted mine as low as it would go but decided I still wanted a lighter pull. PLAN ON DOING THIS - it is soo easy. Buy a set of Timney trigger replacement springs for your rifle. It is about $20 and will make your rifle feel custom. It comes with a 2lb and a 3lb screw (both adjustable using the set screw). IF you don't want to "spring" for the trigger kit, you can simple cut portions of the existing sprin unti lyou get it down to what you would like. All you do is remove the trigger guard plus the front action screw and remove the barreled action from the stock. Once the action is out, drive out the little pin that the trigger pivots on. Move the trigger forward and remove\replace the spring. Put the pin back and return the action to the stock and adjust to suit. What - maybe three minutes start to finish. Most dramatic $20 improvement you can make on any rifle.
