I bought a 22lr version last Friday so I can't speak from a lot of experience. I bought it knowing I was going to tinker on it. The trigger has really nice smooth clean break and at a touch under 3 pounds maybe a little on the light side for my taste. It isn't all that compact when folded because it is about 6 to 7 inches across. I have already fitted a -A2 pistol grip to mine and have a wood forend mostly done to replace the lower and side rails. Due to eye problems the sights won't work for me but I had already planned on putting a spare red dot on it. My butt stock wiggles and the adjustment is already as tight as it will go. I was planning to putting something on it to have a better cheek rest so I'm not worried about the wiggle. So far I'm really happy with mine and feel it was a bargain.
