How do I know what brand it is? I see cabelas makes one, remington makes one. I suppose it would say remington if it was a remington, correct? They look like alot of fun. Ive never shot anything like this but Im sure willing too give it a try. Being a .44 cal, I cant use it for hunting. I believe it has too be .45 or above here. It doesnt look like its a cheap toy, but heck, I got it free. I will have too buy a starter kit for it. I will look at gander mt. today.
