I don't think I would agree that "Fugly" would be the ideal adjetive used to describe the aesthetic apeal of this rifle, but would certainly agree that my purchase criteria did not include that the last thought going through the mind of the caribou/moose/deer that just got shot will be "Holy cow that is one nice looking rifle over thahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

I just got back from the range after shooting ten rounds within 1 1/2" inches of each other at 110 yards and am tickled pink about it. I haven't been shooting for that long and am really impressed that I have been able to get these kinds of results. Next test will be in northern Quebec hunting Caribou in 2 weeks.

Cheers
