Bought a Century for my son a few years ago. Really rough, but really cheap. The one he had required top pressure level reloads, or the equivalent, to fully move the bolt enough to pick up a new round. If you reload, you'll lose half your brass with each trip to the range. The roller lock, and fluted chamber, are hard on cases, and the ejection is fun to watch since the cases get thrown nearly as far as the bullets. With good ammo, the rifle performed perfectly, and delivered 3" to 5" at 100 yards. Far superior to the AK, and similar to the SKS. It's an ugly rifle, and crude, but proven battle worthy.
