Default just bought a yukon

i just bought a yukon from a friend who just ordered it. when he got it today he opened it up and said he did not like a short barrel. he didn't read about the barrel length just bought it on looks. its a traditions yukon with a nickel barrel and mossy oak stock, he said he'd sell it cheap just to have some money to put towards a muzzleloader with a longer barrel. i asked him how much and he said $100, so i bought it and its home with me. does anyone have one of these?, are they good guns?, i'm not a year long shooter i hunt about 14 days a year with a muzzleloader. thanks for any help.

Boomer that is the same thing "almost" as my Genesis. My Genesis has a stainless steel barrel instead of a nickel barrel. BUT load wise, what mine shoots might give you some ideas.

I posted a range report with the Genesis a short time back. You might want to check that if you have not already.

With the cam action you will be surprised how clean the rifle shoots. Mine is a great shooting rifle. And shoots a lot of loads real well. I think you will be real happy with the rifle.

Well your friend gave you a great deal on that gun. Cabala's has the blue/black model on sale in the Bargain Cave for $170. Check out the reviews. Most of them are darn good.
