BC have not even gotten it to the range yet...I like the looks and feell of it . The trigger will have to be redone or replaced and I would just very slightly smooth up the action. Sitting in front of the TV and working the lever a few hundred times has worked wonders.I think it will be the designated NH,ME or VT moose gun(if i ever draw a tag)and short range woodsdeer crumpler since I like sitting in the thick stuff as well as pig and bear gun. I am probably going to hunt NC black bear next fall if the guy has any openings
