You don't hear much about them. The only thing I've ever heard was their triggers are rough.
This is just what I heard, I have zero experience.
Good luck with your and post what you learn.

I have owned a lone eagle in 358 win for quite a few years and they are accurate enough, the trigger isn't great but not so bad can be used as an alibi. Recoil is fairly lively to say the least as I will not use a muzzle break if avoidable. Only problem is loaned it to my son and he dry fired it and the firing pin is now broken. Have not found replacement so will have to do a tear down to make myself, all said I would buy another given the oppotunity. Lynn

Lynn Beier is correct.....DO NOT dry fire!!! It will break firing pin. Buddy had to send his back to factory to have new firing pin installed. Buddy has one in 30-06 and one dryfire broke pin. He installed a muzzle break on his. It is LOUD!!! and puts out one heck of a fire ball. LOL It shoots pretty good also. It shoots across the chrono about same speed as my 16" brl 308 striker pistol.

thanks
