ok.. 1st.. I am one of those idiots who posted on basspro.com. I hunted with mine this last season and i've dropped two deer with it in the late season, and my little brother took two more with his. they're good guns for the money. I think you'll be happy. my only suggestion is that I would experiment with 100grains of powder. Although the can handle 150 grains, they kick like a SOB with that 150.
