Default Franchi Momentum rifles

Has anyone seen them or shot them? I was in the shop today and gktntk hold one and it felt pretty good, and I'm thinking about maybe picking one up.

I just saw the bad typo, but I got to hold one in the shop today. They feel way better than my old Ruger American’s. The stock is Tupperware but better than the Ruger, the 700 ADL or SPS, way better than an Axis.

The bolt handle looks a little weird with the coating that’s on it, really reminded me of truck bed liner.

The bolt cycled smoothly, although was a little difficult to install and remove without a bit of force. I think the bolt latch is just slightly to thick.

Overall it had good ergonomics, very comfortable to hold.

They also include a target card that tells some info about the test shots, and even says what they used, for the particular rifle I held I believe it was Precision Hunter.
