Very nice. This exact model is on my "to-buy" list. If I had a large piece of property here in the Pacific Northwest, that's the rifle I'd carry while out patrolling my land. It's resistant to harsh weather, packs 10-rounds of .44 Magnum (which I just began reloading), it would compliment a nice .44 Magnum revolver on the hip, it's light and quick-handling, and I just love an open-sighted lever gun in thick brush and timber. Let us know how it shoots, cycles, and handles.
