I bought a 9.3 at the Cabelas in Buda yesterday. I agree with all the comments on the wood finish. It's functional but apt to be improved. I'm curious about the comments that the barrel is too thin at the muzzle. Is this a cosmetic complaint? I can sort of see that but it seems fine to me. The action is tight but not to a point that bothers me. This should be good fun. Frankly, I kind of like the fiber optic sights. I can see why they'd drive a traditionalist nuts.
