Yes, it is a very sweet gun.

Iwent ahead and put a limbsaver recoil pad on mine right out of the box and changed out the trigger spring for a lighter one and was very happy with those improvements. I didn't shoot it with the stock recoil pad or the stock trigger spring, but from the research I did the $50 spent on those 2 items is well worth it.

I did not do anything except scope it with a VXIII 3.5-10x40mm. This is going to be used for moose. I went with the browning after shooting my friends 338. I was sold after shooting it. It just felt really comfortable to me.
