I bought one new when I was 15, that was 40 yrs ago. I shot thousands upon thousands of rounds through it and its still going strong. very accurate with iron sights.
I killed a truck load of rabbits and squirrels with it, even a few quail flying, (once upon a time I could shoot well). back in the day a Remington pro held the record for aerial targets with one, I thought I could shoot as good as him (lol). I would practice by flipping hickory nuts in the air and busting them. even got where I could do multiples but keep in mind I shot it a LOT.. not a better knock around gun ever made..
