My wife gave me one of these terrific rifles for my birthday last week. It is very nicely finished and has a handsome though not particulary fancy stock. I immediately mounted a 2 1/2 power Leupold Ultralight scope on it and set out for the range. I was a bit leery of the recoil, never having played with elephant guns before, but found it to be a big friendly push from offhand, and nonexistent from a lead sled with 25# weight. Groups were a very pleasing 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inch at 100 yds. I couldn'nt be happier with this fine rifle.
