I received it this last week. I was able to fire it a few times late saturday afternoon. I can't wait to hunt hogs this winter with it. I would imagine with a well placed bullet it should stop a charging porker. I will bring to the DRSS hunt this january, good lord willing.


You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time. Don't wait, go now.

I am the dealer, but I found this one lightly used for fifty cents on the dollar. This is the only photo that counts (setting next to my 9.3x74R). It's going to be a fun time at the shoot in jan. 500NE

Looks like there is some copper in those barrels!
