I'm looking for all the advantages it has. I've mostly up close in timber most of my life. I'll continue to do that in ML season. However, I want to try some longer range hunting. There's certainly lots of that around here. I figured a smokeless ML would have a better chance of pulling it off. Then when I want a soft recoiling gun I have that too. Cleaning has never been an issue with me. I'm looking for performance now, and a softer shooting gun when I can't take anymore recoil. At my age. That's not far away.
