I bought this rifle in the fall of 2007 for mule deer hunting. I took it in the woods for 3 days, shot my mulie and that was that. I don't rifle hunt anymore as I've moved onto archery and if I did I've got other calibers to use. I would like to trade it for a 40 S&W or a 10mm. Not a big fan of the .45 or 9mm. I'm pretty open to the brand as long as it's not junk. I'd perfer a tactical rail so I could mount a light as the pistol would be used mainly for home defense. Living in Spokane I get a little uneasy and I had my truck broke into by some lil punks the other day. The rifle doesn't come with a scope, but does have scope rings. Also has a butler creek sling with shell holders and a limb saver butt pad. Rifle is a performer, I had it shooting 1 inch groups at 100 yards with a simmons scope. If anyone is interested let me know. Thankksss
