1985 vintage, without the barrel band, been carying a 3x9 Bushnell for a couple decades now. Hell on cats & skunks in the vicinity of the chicken coop. Just stacks bullets at 50 yards. Lord knows how many 10's of thousands of rounds have whistled down the barrell, a bunch. One of the finest rifles ever made IMO.
Now that the magazine ban stupidity is over, I need to replace some very badly worn 25 & 30 round bannana clips. :crossx:
