I saw and played with a 30-40 one year and a 303 on another ocassion at the Dallas SCI show and both of those light, slim, guns made me LUST into a fever..At the end of the show I couldn't handle it any longer and went to lay out the big bucks for the 30-40 and it was sold, and to my great relief..They were awesome, then there was that lovely little 4 lb. 22 hornet double, but thats another story..I bought it, fondled it, hugged it and sold it before I got home!! It left my hands with a tear on the barrels..
