Received my Grizzly/Arctos from Europtic a couple of months ago and I've just started working up loads for it. The wood is beautiful, and the iron sights are terrific; the length of pull is a bit longer than might be expected on many production rifles but great for me because I am 6'6". Like the other reviewer, I appreciate the palm swell, and the locking system for the magazine, which is easy to operate once you get the hang of it. Accuracy? My first 3-shot group at 100 yards with 200 gr. Nosler Accubonds measured .42.

I am very happy with this rifle. Besides looking real good, the wood is gorgeous, it is well balanced. The magazine doesn't rattle and is easy to remove, just put a little pressure on it's frontend. One thing I didn't expect but love is the palm swell on the right side only of the pistol grip. I do find it to be an accurate rifle I have three different 180gr loads and all shoot to the same point of impact and one 160gr load that shoots 1" higher, all loads very .5"-1.25" at a 100yds. The only thing I would change is shorten the length of pull .5-1" or so then it would be perfect. :-)
