You can't go wrong by purchasing a T/C Black Diamond especially if it is the new 26" barrel variety. I have owned one of these for 3 years and had 3 kills. The rifle will actually shoot better than I can hold it at 50 or 100 yards with saboted bullets and 2 Pyrodex pellets. It is easy to clean and to load. I would not feel restricted if I had to hunt with it during the modern rifle season at all.
