I have had a Model 40 for the last 2 years and consider it an excelent value for the money .It is on the heavy side of a walking gun but take a look at what they are selling for Predator rifles . Short action , heavy barreled Model 110 's . It would be nice if they would make a liter barreled version and magazine would be nice as well . I also have the 527 and it shoots well bet the reverse safety is a safety hazard if you ask me . The set trigger is very cool !
