Default M76 Sniper Rifle from Centerfire Systems???

Thanking about the M76 Sniper Rifle from Centerfire Systems.
Can anyone give me a heads up on this Rifle, like how puts it together?
The price is very attractive at 1,299.00. Is it accurate, and is the fit and finish correct.
Any help, or good advice would be great.

I shot one and liked it. I can't say too much about the accuracy of it, I didn't shoot it enough to tell.

It looked well built and shot well. It has a parked finish although I imagine the originals were blued.

Not a bad deal considering all that comes with them.

Horrible, so far no maker in US was able to build proper spec M76 receiver. They all need some work.

ive shot several of these and they were awesome.

the price is coming down to a more managable level as 555th mentioned for all the goodies your getting.

is it a "sniper" rifle? ehhhhh that kind of depends on how you look at it.

id call it more of a "extended range combat weapon" the design of it keeps it from being a true "sniper" rifle.

300-600 meters? yeah its good at that range. but real sniping? on out there?

almost impossible to beat a good bolt action for that stuff.

really the price of this gun needs to get down around the price for the PSL/dragunov clones as thats what it shoots with.

just MO....

make sure it's not on an ORF receiver. Those are notorious for having problems.

I paid 1250 for mine- but it came with scope, 2 mags, bayonet plus a 900 rd case of yugo- corrosive but still goes to my stash. I think my deal was ok just need to mill off the bolt hold open from the mags. The guns action is as smooth as my Valmet 78's.
