I just picked one up a while back, and finally got to shoot it a few weeks ago. Anyone else got one?

I have one and it's my favorite. I mainly use it for Bear and Hog hunting but I'm considering putting a scope back on it and use it deer hunting. MY shoulder doesn't like it at all.

I put a 4x on mine and it seems like it will be a great brush gun for deer/bear/hogs and pretty much anything in North America. I am still thinking I may have gone a little overkill. If anyone is interested in a trade for something a bit lighter let me know.

I have a 357 and boy its handy. If you have a heavy trigger and want to lighten it up the Wild West Trigger is the ticket. I dropped mine (only complaint with the rifle) from 8ish to 3-4lbs.

One of the few that I got rid of that I REALLY regret.

I have a SS model and it shoots all loads from mild to wild well. I like to shoot cast boolits in it and it does well on deer.
