Muzzy, why blowing smoke is a blast! Range is better, the new gen are reliable and easier to care for. If legal the savage or other approved smokeless take it to the next degree. Follow ups, always viewed the first chance as the best chance the rest are "lead in the air hope in the heart"!

I am biased though because our ML season is a full month before general gun season so the extension makes it really a no brainer here.
