I gotta say I like mine. It seem's a bit "clunky" campared to a slicked up Marlin or a Model 92, and I doubt you will see one in the hands of the fastest cowboy shooters. But, danged if it don't just feel good.

Some of the biggest laugh's I have had is when me and my buddies are shooting and some one gets in over their head. Safety first, good times and good laugh's are second. It must be a sickness that the more pain a buddy is in, the more funny it is to every one else. Can't wait to go again !!!!!!!!!
