well i have this same gun with a bushnell scope as well. mine has been great to me, shoots very well and the 7 mag will drop a deer like it is its job, which i guess it is.lol. They are great guns and very rugged and will last forever if you take care of it, me personally i could never change from this gun i love it so much. the triggers are a little rough but if you dont want to have to trigger fixed it will still be fine because i know for sure that i was able to align my scope very well and i havent missed a deer with it yet.
