RE: Winchester Super Shadow Opinions
I have shot an elk and 2 deer with mine (didnt buy at wallyworld cuz they had it packaged with a cheezy scope) Plus, I wanted to give my home boys the biz. I trusted them to mount & bore sight the new leupold VX-I I also bought there.
My brother bought the same gun only the wally world package. We met at the range. He junked the scope took it to our homey's and had her bore sighted and mounted with the same leupold as me. Back at the range a week or so later we both were driving tacks with that setup. Now, I'm longing for classic wood again and have my eyes on bigger and prettier things such as: Mannlicher-Schoenauers, Weatherby's, Kimbers, Remington 700 deluxes and the like. The shadow is a great gun and a great value, but leaves me cold aesthetically speaking. At the time though, I needed a new scope, binoculars, quiet waterproof camo, and on and on.
So, it was all I could afford. this year all I need is the new gun...YIPPEEEEE.
