Hi all,
Well, I decided I needed something to shoot just for fun. And I heard lever actions are a lot of fun. Turns out they are!
The wood is nice, but has a couple of dings, and the engraving is a little worn here and there, but hell, I bought it to shoot it, so it's all good. And the action and feeding is as smooooooooth as.....
Plus it seems to hit what I shoot it at, and .22lr makes it cheap to feed, so it just gets better!
cheers, curan.
