    Nice
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Cause of that recoil? Could end up with a nice cut....

    I heard it's a hell of a kick and not a pleasant all day shooter...I still want one though...watch that movie "Wind River"

    I suppose if a bear is charging you that recoil doesn't really matter....

    Yeah man I've spent a bit of time behind one. Pretty lively. Great fun though. I'd own one for sure. I'd go a red dot or peep site personally
