Outfitted correctly much faster then any lever gun ever made. I understand the Benoits are now using scopes since they are getting up there in years. Scope of choice seems to be the Trijicon Accupoint and a fine scope it is for that purpose especially with the reticle it has. I bought "How to bag the biggest buck of your life" back in the 70's and wish I had bought 100 of them. Unloaded it on Ebay for 250 bucks and it was not in perfect condition.
