    Another for not seeing it before, and definitely chuckled a few times! I laughed out loud at the "Your sight adjustment goes to 12 miles and you've actually tried it."

    When I first bought my 44 my son Mongo shot it first. Totally impressed with the muzzle flash. Not so impressed with his moaning (he's 6 foot 2 and a biscuit over 300 pounds). Then my turn. It's kind of a display rifle now.
