Hey all!
Figured I should let everyone know I got my BC...and I LOVE IT! Can't say it enough. For a dude who is used to precision rifles and military surplus I gotta say this is a very welcome change.
Beautiful stock, sweet trigger pull, and I love the sight radius. Don't point half bad either. Reminds me of a Pennsylvania rifle actually.
My only problem so far is that to zero it took all my right windage for 300 grain Win Partition Gold. Can I knock the front sight chuckwagon to the right some and move my rear sight back to the left? With my right windage maxed out it's impossible to get to the screw on the front sight.
Sighted in with 10 rounds yesterday and it was grouping sweet...And...today I ran into a little 4 pointer, just couldn't help but try out the rifle. My friend had a Stevens 200 he shoots better than anything, so I figured if my shot went awry he had me covered.
A doe showed herself at about 80 yards and moved towards us slowly, and I figured her boyfriend wouldn't be far behind...He came out and moved within 70 of me, turned broadside. I'm using the post sight with the ball bead on top, so I lay the ball over his shoulder and I fired.
Talk about Bang-Flop! It kicked it's leg once and died right there where it fell, quicker can I could dump a new shell into the rifle.
I am VERY impressed.
Anyone mind if i post a pic? I don't wanna break the rules if there are any concering shot animals.
Thanks!
