I have the sidekick andI bought a new cleaning ram rod. I just bought some extra primer holders, a spare breech plug from H&R and a scope rail. The primer holders make it easy and quick to load primers. My buddy has a TC Triumph and with that type of breech plug you are supposed to be able to get it in and out without a tool. I'll take my tool any day. I think you will find the barrel to be very accurate and for that price you will have a heck of a gun. The people at H&R are very nice to deal with as well.
