I did and never looked back. Bear, deer, antelope, hogs and many varmints have been laid to rest. I have many guns to choose from today but the gun you have confidence in is best.

We had to run our calling sets loop to our best wind advantage and the first set was -100yds from a small farm house. Scoring was yotes 1 point, cats and foxes 2 points. At first crack of light from 165yds I dropped 2 bobcats about 5 seconds apart with 165grbt. Crazy irony of distance and bullet weight.
