I really like my Mustang mnprohunter. My oft-used description is that it shoots a lot of bullets and loads OK, and a few pretty good, but I haven't gotten those golden one-hole groups withany load. Even so,I've had no trouble finding a number of acceptable hunting loads(1 & 1/2 to 2 & 1/2 inch 100 yard groups).

I like its style and balance. The top lever break-open action has always been a favorite of mine. It's built brute strong, especially in the hinge area- lots of steel in the action and breech. There's no need for playing around with oversize hinge pins to tighten up the action. I've used it for two hunting seasons and have over 1,000 rounds through it inmany, many ranges sessions and the actionshows no signs of wiggle or looseness. I also like the sliding tang safety, Pachmayer recoil pad,and magnetic breech plug which just sucks the primer into place.

That beautiful wood is actually what appears to be straight grain beech when you take off the recoil pad. Lyman's "ultra grain" finish makes it look like high grade walnut. The finish on mine has not yet chipped, scratched, or faded. Most guys who handle my gun never guess it's not walnut. Aside from a lack of "target accuracy", the only bad thing I can say about it is the trigger on mine was just terrible. I had to work it over to get it to an acceptable level and it's still not great. I've heard that Lyman improved the trigger on later models, but don't know that to be a fact.
