the metallurgy is soft like Butta!! (Butter) dont expect one to be a hardcore huntin gun field loads are fine but magnums stretch the chambers pretty fast. a couple friends of mine bought these for waterfowl after two seasons the chambers were shot the guns stretched enough that the guns were darn near impossible to open between shots and were just as hard to close. Id seriously save your money and save up for atleast a spartan which seem to be very good quality though they are still made overseas aswell.
