Tony - It's a deal - come on over - bring her along and we'll go shoot a moose with her.

My shoulder, along with the PAST shoulder protector, would last for a couple sighting shots as well as the one to kill a moose - no problem.

There is a stamp on the barrel about the powder charge being 12 drams? That seems a bit high for the weight of the rifle. I would expect in the 8 or 9 dram range. Much of course, depends on the rate of twist.

What a hunt that would be! Oh my Lord!
