If resale wasn't an issue, I'd sure be tempted to whack that sucker off to about 18 inches, put a 3x leupold on it and load it to the firewall with those pointed .44 magnum bullets. make a heck of a 150 yard deer sticker.

Guy i bought it from said it was one of the early models...I will try to get some pics up. If someone will email me, I can email then some pics to put up. Computer problems here and working off cell phone. It is in excellent shape.
