Your going to love it. They are definitely more fun than a barrel of monkeys ! Have had mine about six years. Only changes were to have a Pacmayer Decelerator pad installed and an Aimpoint sight ( eyes have gone to heck with age ).Worked up a load with 400 gr Woodleighs and Reloader 15. Hit the classic 2150 f.p.s. no problem. Gun is sub 1"out of the box. Be sure and shoot yours before tinkering around like some people do with there No.1's. Recoil , it's not a 22 but very manageable. I'll bet a lot of 12 gauge shotguns with these high velocity turkey loads they have now belt you a lot worse. Almost forgot, don't ride the safety with your thumb, it bites ! For some crazy reason I've never had issues with cases hanging on the factory safety, go figure......
