know a guy that bought one dirt cheap to deer hunt with...gun shop out of anyother caliber in his price range or somethin.....he deerhunted with it till he ran out of ammo...never hit one....but man that gun barked...he showed up with a 270 this year.....told us the bank declined him a loan for a new box of shells.....last year he had 2 or 3 and cept sayin he had to take a loan out for a box of shells.....fun times.....but seriously shells were like 80bucks a box or something....before id ever fire a round id think long and hard about it...if i had no use id sell it for a half decint price....and buy something i always wanted.....sell it new in box....instead of used....dont bother firing it if you dont want to keep it.....sure it will shoot flat and fast and packs alot of heat....but if your not hunting elk at long range or dangerous game hunting id definenetly swap it for a new gun....scope.....anything id use and havea good use for......thats just me..
