i live on the kenai. the only reason black bears haven't over run the town is that the browns eat them.

took it up to the farm last night. first impressions, it is big. but fits my hand well. the action is very very smooth. like the sights. easy to come down on a target. shooting is exhausting. only fired twenty rounds and felt worn out. it kicks up, badly. have the lanyard ring ordered. am told there's an art to controlling these things. will have to figure it out. it is also deafening. was wearing full ear protection. and the sound still got to me.

shot an hp printer. a cel phone. and punched some nice clean holes in an old trailer rim.


stats are all over the place. from 1600 to 1900 fps. am shooting something called "backpacker's choice" ammo right now. also have a box of buffalo bore. will take my time figuring out what is best for my purposes..



the factory sells a spare cylinder that lets you fire .45 colt. but thats way down the list of things i need to spend money on.
