Ah, hammer guns! Yeah, those are pretty neat too. You know, all I really wanted was a decent Field Grade to shoot clays with, but I ended up with this one. In my mind, it's the best of all the lower grade guns, at least for my purposes. This gun has so-many nice touches for an entry-level gun, the joint-check, the bushed firing pins, the English Walnut stock, and the nicely ( better) shaped action. Even the line engraving looks good to me. Nicely understated. I'm looking forward to it's use.
