sighted it in about two weeks ago and I wanted to tell how I like it, but forgot to.

I absolutly love this gun, would highly recommend it. I dont have a whole lot of experience with rifles because I mainly have used shotguns being a duck hunter my whole life, but I cannot wait to get my first deer with this gun!!

My wife actually talked be into buying the rifle because i wanted to buy a cheaper gun, and boy am I glad she did, this gun will be with me for a long time
