I had the prob once before, what is the proper way to upload so it is posted as a Photo?? And I got the gun with a redfield peep in a box. Was the peep the only difference between a R and RS??

All week long I photograph stuffed animals (teddy bears and the like)for a major gift manufacturer. Every so often I get the urge to photo one of my fire arms or hunting equipment and turn my living room into a studio.

There is very little recoil on this gun, I guess because it is such a heavy gun for the cartridge. Either way its consistantly accurate and the action is fabulously smooth!
