Buy it! Ammo is cheap and rifle is good. I would recommend you to buy straight from the ordnance factory.

Mandeep It is a good gun, nothing much to look before buying a brand new one. And another thing it is not sold from the factory outlet but is easily available at most of the Gun Dealers . Best of luck for your future purchase.

Hi Mandeep.. In my opinion just do not think over.If you have decided to have a .22 then go for the IOF. In the present scenario of India it is much advised to for the IOF than any Remington, BSA, Winchester of 40 years young having unknown types of repairs by unknown idiots with unknown gunsmithing ability & that to after paying ridiculous prices naming it NIB.. Excellent condition...sparingly used..etc.. etc. I have a .22 IOF for the last 10 years. I admit it is not beautiful bride but if you want give her a Shahanaz bridal make-up. Believe me it can outshoot any of these so called imported stuffs. I have started loving the bride even without any facial make-up as she serves well. It is always the man behind the rifle not the rifle always except precision competition. It is not only very good but respectable. I have shot a lot BRNOs.. Walther..or Anschutz it is my opinion. Of course I accept that many men have many opinions ( minds )
