seems to be a fine caliber. i met a guy through my buddie up in maine. he was leaving to move to florida and was selling his. I wish i offered to buy it from him. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

but he had it sporterized with a fixed X3 scope on it. like the way the internal magazine sits to the side.
he has took several bear and one big moose ( saw it on tape ) at 250yds. two shots both in the lungs.
too bad the only one i have seen used was one but it was in a lever action in 30-40krag.
