Thinking about buying a 715 in 243, does anyone know the pros and cons?

Some like them some don't. Long action shooting a short action cartidge. I am not impressed with the rifle. Looks OK but bolt tends to bind up when the bolt is cycled quickly.

For the same price you can buy a savage 200. Fugly stock but the rifle is much better built. I would opt for the savage.
