This lil' pee shooter looks and feels just like that Daisy you had when you were a kid. I've not shot it a ton but I wanted a big bore gun that wouldn't beat the crap out of me. This one does not, not even with 300 gr projos. The read sight it the typical buck horn sight that is being swapped for a Skinner peep sight. The bizarre safety is being replaced with a button insert. OH MY GOD, NO SAFETY! Yeah, deal with it. Seriously, not having a safety on a lever gun is not an issue because you just place the hammer in the half cock position and the gun is incapable of firing.
I have some pics of the groups some where in my bucket, when I find them I'll post them.

Pretty sweet.

What range were those groups at? Bench or offhand?

I gotta get me one. Want to pair it with a blued S&W 4' 29. On levers I usually use the halfcock or keep the chamber clear and just rack it whenever I needed it. Pretty much how I roll with pumps too.

If I'm not here you can still talk to me. You can talk to me and I'll talk to you. You'll see.

The sight was/is a bit to the right. If I were inclined to carry a rifle about, this one would be high on the list.
