They are nice handling rifles, and shoot pretty good when set up properly. The Garandicon and 03' junkies I talk to thumb their noses at these. I like mine a lot, and it shoots pretty good. It'll shoot even better once I finish shimming the forend to account for shrinkage over the years.
I don't prefer the fixed/welded on, gargantuan obelisk front sight post, but it works well for a battle rifle inside 300 yards. I wish MAS would have come up with a better solution for rear the rear sight other than drilling apertures off center, but fortunately my rifle is pretty good - has a centered "N" aperture and shoots maybe 1/4 - 1/2 inches left at 100yds, which could just be me. I shoot perfect little 1.5inch groups off the bench indoors with a thin stripe of nail polish on the front post to compensate for this (trim a watercolor brush until only 1 thread is left, and borrowed my daughter's fluorescent pink nail polish.)

I really like the color of the wood in yours. Mine is a dingy blonde, with a little red hue.
