dave,
thanks! we shoot into an old quarry so there's zero chance of a stray round going anywhere. this thing fires some HEAVY duty ammo. it's 7.62x54R which is suitable for Moose, Black Bear, and any other game that size. for deer it's overkill.
it was one thing to lay down $777 for something that is basically a big toy. it's the intangibles i can't fully convey. every bit of the PSL just screams that it's tough as nails and extremely high quality. it's not some dainty tinkertoy like a swiss or american precision rifle... this thing is built to last and last and last. it has that "old world" craftsmanship and Romanian character to it. all the various parts came wrapped in oiled wax paper that was tied together using thread. sort of like a neat little present. the scope came zeroed from the factory. just mount it and it's lined up PERFECTLY.
i don't know if i'll ever spring for this cash again for a weekend toy, but i'm happy i did this time. we're not bigtime collectors, but we know quality when we see it. this PSL was one of those deals you don't pass up on. i know that if i missed this, i might have to wait YEARS to find another one like it.
