I picked this gun up a while back and have yet to do anything with it. I have a friend who is on here often that is attempting to convince me to buy a S&B but that seems a bit out of my price range, but he did say that at 1000yds his friends S&B blew his NF out of the water when it came to an object hunt. I would say my budget would be around 1500 retail so less than that. All help is appreciated!
