I have had a Prodigy for about 4 or 5 years. It is a great machine, lighter to move around than some of the other long-arms I tried. The drawback is their service. I live in a remote area of Nevada, near Elko. Service is nonexistent. The people who came to set up said they would be making rounds and would return every so often but it never happened before Katrina hit (where they were from and were affected by that storm), and now there is no one. We have been able to make some minor adjustments with their tech over the phone but I really would like a service call. I'd give them an A plus for their machine, but a C minus on service. Penny
