Thank you Nomercy for your imput which i am sure you will receive flack for. I am not just a beginner or an average shot...I own quite a few guns and i shoot ALOT. I too agree in the hands of a capable shooter it could be deadly, but i would not throw it in the hands of a first timer. I have been at both ends of the spectrum. I have had a deer run just to never find him after taking a 30.06 to the shoulder, and I have in my younger days (not that Im pround of it, so dont anyone write and cuss me out) but Ive taken a deer at 60 yards with a single 22 long rifle to the head. At any rate...I was just thinkin on it one day and I never thought my first post would turn into this.

Thanks Josh
