Forgot about this thread, and the responses it got. Hunted the gun pretty hard this deer season, killed a deer with it and really enjoyed the gun. Did it perform better than the 99's ? , definitely not. I wasn't able to get the accuracy out of it that I got with the 99's because the trigger is not as good, but it was good enough for deer hunting in PA. Was it heavy? Yep, but I'm a strapping young buck so not a big deal😉. Was the recoil a little much? It's not a bench rest shooter to begin with and like so many guns you don't feel a thing when you pull the trigger in the field. I have zero regret that I bought it, and have no plans of getting rid of it. The scout mount I put on it worked great too!
God Bless
