I had a chance to handle one in a gun shop the other day. Observation and question.
The observation, the hammer was bit too low, narrow and hard to cock quickly while bringing the rifle to shoulder. The spring is also very stiff. All this, compared to the old H&R which I could handle very quickly. That is a problem for me.
The question, what is the safety or procedure to carry a loaded gun while hunting? Not a nit pick, just a question. There is no transfer bar. No 1/2 cock. No safety button, lever or latch. I asked the clerk, he had no idea. Maybe some one here can fill me in.
