I originally started out wanting the gun just for deer hunting in thick cover (you never know if they will go nuts and charge you). Kidding, I have always wanted a DR of some kind. I had my eyes on a Baikal when they came out, but that soon passed when I found out you couldn't get them. I really would like the satisfaction of building my own though. I know it'll take forever, but when I'm done I will have a very versatile rifle for within 100 yds for any critter that lives around here. That's why I think I'll shoot for the JDJ round.
