UPDATE ***

We had a remarkable warm day today - 62 degrees. That's about 30 degrees above normal. So off to the range to test this little cannon. I fired 2 loads - a 350g fun load, and a 500g hunting load. I was able to remove the muzzle brake and I tested the 500g load with-and-without the brake. The recoil was very manageable and quit frankly there wasn't much difference in felt recoil with-and-without the brake. (sights will be adjusted before the next outing)

as always, your comments are most welcome
