It is the proven Garand action. The newer 580 series have a better barrel. its tapered right off the gas block,so their is no mistaking one VS the old pencil neck barrels. They will eat any ammo under any conditions. I would buy a package of 1911 rubber guide-rod bushing & put them at both ends of the guide-rod spring,keeps the OP rod from beating metal on metal against the receiver.
These rifles MOA will open up as they heat up. A few different tricks can help this.. The newer 580s are no where near as bad though. Stick with Ruger mags.
Doing your own a trigger job is fairly easy. Lots of youtube vids on this.
If nothing else, drilling & tapping the trigger group housing with a #4 tap will go along way in shrinking your target groups.
Not sure I would be comfortable purchasing anything that shoots 7.62X39 imported ammo with Obama & Co. on the loose
Hope this helped.
