one-shot-one

well, gave into the temptation and bought one yesterday.
went straight from gander mtn. to the rifle range. i didn't have my glasses with me and only "iron" sites so wasn't expecting perfection but the frist two mag's were disapointing, low to the left and i didn't see an adjustment tool in the case. the shots at 50 yards were spread over 8" off sandbags not good.
adjusting my point of aim i continued to shoot off the sand bags and the groups slowly began to shrink to about 4"-5". for the last 20 rounds of the 100 fired i lifted up off of the sandbags and shot holding the gun in both hands resting my elbows on the table and shot the bull out of the last 50 yrd. target. finial group of twenty inside or touching bull.
100 rounds of american ammo (i think remington manufactor) hard ball fired mostly from full mag's. of 8, some with only 2 loaded in mag. no fail to feed or fail to fire, not bad straight out of box with no cleaning or oiling.
gun was comfortable to shoot, lite recoil, some muzzle rise. i'm not a big fan of the type of millitary site having grown up with the std. notch and bead, but it worked as i got use to it. the only gripe is that i had not shaved and the seam in the stock would some times pull one of my wiskers!
fun little gun with good possible defensive uses. oh i did find the adjustment tool when i got home, good excuse to go back and try some more.
