Pretty hard to make a beard look bad if you can grow one. At least that's what "the ladies" always used to tell me!
Pretty sad about that rig. Bought it, spent a couple years slowly rebuilding it before I ever even shot it. Got it right where I wanted it, strapped a "reasonable" glass on top (that Bushnell Elite), gathered up some ammo. Happy that it turned out to be one of the finer running leverguns I've ever built (rebuilt)...
Then my wife decided it was hers...
She was the first to shoot it, luckily for us, it shoots under an inch at 100yrds with the first load we tried out of it. I've loaded the same bullet a bit hotter for this rifle, but it's hard to find anything wrong with the Hornady factory rounds out of it.
Luckily for me, I still get to borrow it from time to time...
