Well I finally took it to the range today. It's a beauty. Handles just as I wanted, weight is good to carry all day, recoil is strong but expected, plenty managable and less felt than my Ruger #1, sights are dead on at the 75 yrds tested and speed was 2048 fps for 5 shots. The target was the 75 yrds with the front leaf. The one picture shows a hit to a water jug that blew the sod off down to rock from hydraulic blast, not bullet impact. Amazing
