Default Win. Black Shadow

Hey guys:
I just picked up a Winchester Black Shadow today, even though I know I shouldn't have. The price was just too good to pass up. My dealer had it and lost the box soo therefore was selling it used. I got a real good buy I believe on it, but I didn't know if anyone had any experience with one. It looks like the trigger isn't up to my standards but that can be reworked. Thanks for any input have a great holiday.

Kyle

Shotgun or rifle? I got a bs deer gun in 12ga with rifled barrel and really like it.This is 3rd deer season for it and I have no complaints.

Kyle, congrats on a good purchase! I've had one for about 5 years now, chambered for 7MM RM. The only thing I did to it was to have the trigger turned down to about 3 pounds. Since doing that my groups have shrunk to less than an inch. For the price, I'd say the Black Shadow would be hard to beat!

Thanks guys, it is a 30-06 and I paid in the neighborhood of $299 for it brand new, it came w/ a bsa 3x9 which is immediately coming off and would probably look good in my aquarium and a leather sling. I figured for the price I might as well add another one to the collection.
Happy Holidays

Kyle
