+1 on enjoyable - at 8 pounds bare and 9 pounds with the scope, + the great stock, recoil will be minimal with most loads.

Hunt?
Initially, deer, feral hogs, black bear and exotics which are easily taken with the caliber.

If I stretch it out to .45-90, who knows?

My 1886 .45-90 has already taken ele, leopard, multiple cape buff, and a bunch of NA game, so,,,

One of the nice things about the caliber is the wide range of ammo available plus that which can be hand loaded. Should be fun!
