It goes boom real good.

I can make an apple-sized pattern with it, standing off-hand, at 100 yards.

It cost me $75.00.

Yeah,,,, Insurgents who enjoy shooting 1.5 inch groups as they sit up on that concealed mountaintop. Mine looks ugly,, and i can always cover 3 shots with a silver doller from the bench.

Not to mention that it’s the rifle most used by the worlds most successful sniper Simo Hayha. Finn versions are a bit better, but only to a minor degree,, the basic one is deadly.

To add salt in the wound,, compare it to anything else available in 1891.
