Has anyone fired this rifle?  Anyone tried to scope one with all that drop at the heel?

I've got one.  Shoots real well.
But, I 've read on another forum that there are a lot of them with problems.  When I bought mine, I looked at a stack of them and picked the one that seemed to have the best trigger (I dry fired the hammer onto my thumb).  They are roughly finished, and are not the same as the old Favourites.  
The one I have is a nice gun, and accurate.  But, since I've bought the Martini in 17HMR, the Stevens has not gotten shot much.
