As long as the rifle isn't ridiculously light, it should make for a fairly soft shooting rifle, with better long range performance than either of the other two that I mentioned. Challenge seems to be the cost of components for this calibre - bullets are at the high end it seems, and brass is obscenely priced. Factory rounds are at the stupid end of expensive from what I can see too. Cheers.
From what I have seen bullets and finished ammo are no more expensive than any of the other ammunition in that same category.
I too would be looking for a used unit if I were going to buy any rifle these days.
