I took the trapper to the range after getting the scope mounted. My friend asked if i would sight the gun in for him. I was happy to do so and I wanted to shoot this neat little rifle!. I used Winchester white box 44mag 240gr Soft pt. The ammo Chono'ed at 1741FPS out of the 16 inch barrel.I was impressed with the speed. The gun was louad off the bench but recoil was fine. At 100yards the 3 shot group was two shots in same hole and the third about 1 1/2 inches apart. Again I was impressed! At 150yds the group opend up to about 5 inches with a called flier by me.Other wise the group would have been about 3 1/2 inches! I made a bad wind call on that pulled shot. This gun was pretty cool to shot and I still want to keep it. I would ditch the scope incsatll a peep sight and work the trigger a bit. Other than that I would just shoot it and take it hunting. MB
