Hello TH44, Hello WildCattle,

Well, I just got back from the range. I'm still as "Giddy" as a school girl. I kinda' feel sorry for all those that saw this little beauty on the internet auction, and didn't bid on it. (well, not really, cause then "I" wouldn't have gotten it)

The balance was great, the recoil was modest, and the sights were clear and crisp because the rear sight is mounted more forward on the rib than all of my other doubles. My old eyes really liked that.

I went to the range with 2 loads ... both were loaded with 52.0g IMR4198 - one with 390g Paper-patch bullets, and the other with 350g flat-nose gas-checked bullets.

I shot the PP bullets first.... HERE IS WHAT THEY DID...... just a fuzz over a 1-1/4" group .... WOW ! ! WOW ! !

The gas-checked 350's did pretty good also .... They shot a bit higher and just a tad over a 2" group.

I am so glad I got this one. So far its my best shooter. I'm ready for hunting, and this one is going with me for sure.
