    How does it shoot? heard they went ok but with a little tuning were very good.

    Right now at the range I'm knocking down 8in steel plates at 100m, going up to 200 next. it's loud and has a good kick. I love it , but am biased of course. I like the fact they only made these for a few years. This is the only 'big' caliber gun I have at the moment, so not much to judge it against. Back in western Kansas my uncle hunted whitetail deer with it and never had any problems.
