Grant,
I have the exact same gun. I chose it because, at the time, it was one of the only carbines with a 20" barrel. Rem Model 7 was 18 1/2. Mine is the Micro Medallion which is much more beautiful than what they're making now as the Micro Hunter. I put a Kane gun chap on it and it looks brand new after more than 10 years. It handles like a BB gun but I did put a full size scope on it after getting frustrated with the performance of a compact. Mine always loved the Remington Extended Range 154gr soft points. That's been long out of production though. Maybe a gun show will have a box around. I reload now and am grouping wonderfully with Nosler BT's. If you want to shoot 300 yards please practice.
