grandveneur,
I feel that it is more gun than most people need or can handle well. What sort of game would you use it on? I have a friend who has guided people from the lower 48 states up in Alaska for BIG game, and he tells me that many guys showed up with a gun that kicked like a mule and scared them to death. He claimed that when it came time to shoot, very few of them could shoot the gun they brought with them well at all. Bob H.
