Eight Ball.....ya think?
Pretty much like all guns, don't warm up much to the "black guns" though, but as my "handle" states, my inclination is being a hunter.
Even though I probably spend a considerable more time doing range work, load development, and such, my end usage is in the field.
From my perspective, hunting, is not sitting on a rock 1000 yards from my intended game, but spending a day or days HUNTING to be within reasonable distance. For that purpose, lever guns suit me well. Easy to carry, quick to the shoulder, and can carry it's own reserves.
The little one on the left has taken 13 whitetail, one black bear, and one 6 X 6 bull elk up the Bitterroot across the Clark Fork. Took me all night to shimmy down the valley, cross the Clark Fork, and lay in the mud by the bull rushes before that big boy walked within 40 yards of me and I took it with that little .44 Mag Trapper.
