Not perfect groups, but still lots of fun and this isn't a work gun.

Surprising to me, it points very well and shoots naturally. The ducks were shot about as quick as Willard could squeeze them off. I did three bottom rings and the two center ducks as fast as I could as well.
I am also the first person to apply a solvent to the gun. The color-case-hardening was covered in some sort of lacquer, and that started peeling off when Shooter's Choice hit it. I got most of it off and I think you can see the color better now.
