This one came without crate, but the boy doesn't care - he loves it. He also finally gets to keep it in his room, albeit with a cable lock on it with the Mrs and I having the keys, but he can have it in his room and he appreciated the additional responsibility. It is accurate so far, but we need to wring it out on a serious afternoon together on the firing line. The rear sight had to be set at the 300 yard mark to get it on the target at 100 yards, so the "optimistic" sight range out to 1000 yards isn't QUITE truthful.
will need to buy some good ammo - the Remington Golden Bullet generic stuff doesn't seem to be incredibly accurate. No malfs so far! Well, except for the one thing that MAC posted on his channel - sometimes the bolt doesn't go forward when you slap the bolt handle down from full rearward. What I did discover is that if you retract the handle all the way to the rear, then let it go, the bolt will always follow. Considering that this is NOT a combat rifle, I and he can live with that. It really is neat, such a detailed replica! If you are at all a WWII buff, grab one.
