When I shot both of them,It was uncomfortable for me to try to line the rear sight and the front sights up...It was like the cheek piece and the rear sight didn;t get along together...The vice,don't understand that...Bend the barrel???I wouldn't think so...To move the front sight, wouldn't be inline with the barrel then???The swivel for the sling are on the side of the barrel..Are this not chute rifles??? Just learning here about them...My first shot also,ejected the next round and got stuck..lead pointing up out of the action...
