Nice job, Aaron. The only thing I would want different on it would be a pistol grip. I have better control under recoil with one. I used a Ruger #3 (straight grip) in .45-70, with a 300 gr. FNHP, at 1500, in it. Killed a lot of deer but it was a single shot, and I didn't care much about a quick second shot. I bought a new #1 in the same caliber, which of course had a pistol grip. I liked it much better. Recoil should be roughly the same, I'd guess, with my load and yours. About that time hogs began to move in so I used it for them as well, with a Leopold M8-3X. Always wanted to try a set of NECG peep and big white front bead. Although I much prefer a square notch and post for fine work I believe I'd like the big open peep and big bead for close up stuff like hogs, in the daylight. Nightime hogs is a whole 'nuther ball game, for us.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
