I have 2, a Kodiak mag and a Kodiak Pro, the only difference between the 2 is the pro has a fluted barrel. I like em both, and they bothe shoot pretty much the same. The only draw back to them is the (trigger-mech) is connected to the barrel, but it never bothered me during cleaning. You can remove the (pin) and take the trigger-mech off the barrel, but I never had to. Also never never ever try and take apart the trigger mech to try and clean, as you'll be sending it back to CVA to put back togeather. Both of my Kodiak's like shooting the Hornaday.452 45cal 240gr XTP Mag, I also use 150gr. of Pyrodox Pellets in them with no problems. Their both very accurate and I have had no problems with them at all.
