It ain't about the gun..it's about this..Keep your gun for 25 yrs..shoot it 3/4 million times and get 4 times what ya paid for it and have the satisfaction of shooting a nice pretty gun all them years. Actually I like pretty guns and all but usually shoot ugly repeaters in the field..cause I can shoot 3-5 times if necessary. Course I NEVER took a plug out while shootin ducks er nothing...
I DID take the plug out fer shootin deer. Actually shot 5 running out of a woods one day. longest was the last at just over 60 yds. I shot deer on crop damage permits in Md. It was a hard job...but somebody hadda do it I guess.
A friend of mine actually killed 3 deer one morning with his Savage muzzleloader in 3 minutes all within 10 ft of each other.. Lot of deer back there in Md..
