Hard to tell what they will do this year with all the new coaches and the ability to finish a game that they have had over the last couple years. There is a lot of talent in them if they get a coach that can harness it and make them push.

On the subject of the gun. I have the same gun and mine makes no noise. The stocks are very flimsy and I wonder if the strange hold (holding it by the butt) causes it to flex and slip on one of the action screws or something. Unlikely but if the gun shoots good don't worry about it.
