Got the same one. HARDLY EVER USE IT...HAD IT FOR 10 YEARS OR SO. Too heavy, kicks like a donkey etc.
They work good if your 6'6" ! But they hit deer hard too.
Yes it is and I absolutely love this gun. It is a bit heavy, but so am I at 6'2" and 220 lbs.
I shoot it off a lead sled at the range so the recoil isn't bad. I don't even notice recoil when shooting a deer. It does kick you off of it but get em with the first shot you don't need a second one which does kind of defeat the purpose of a semi-auto.
As for hitting deer hard, if I get a shot anywhere close to right with the 165 grain Nosler Partition, it knocks them down right there. Only ever had 1 deer run out of site after getting hit with a 30-06 and that was with Winchester Silvertips, which is why I switched to Noslers.
