| 2009-11-16 | David | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | that was awesome, thank you for your advice especially to have an expert look at it before firing. the information provided was exactly what i was looking for. thank again. dave barrett |
| 2009-11-15 | Bryan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-10-20 | Gary | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Talking to other people, they have said that the gun should shoot better then it does. Talking to chuck he told me that from a prodution line gun, it is probably shooting the way it should. After analizing all the info on this subject, I took into account that Chuck's answer was the most fitting. I did get a little more accuracy with one kind of ammo. Also hitting empty 12ga. shotgun hulls at 50yds. Shooting rabbits and squirrels at 65yds is good enough for me. Conclution to all of this...... There is nothing wrong with the gun. Anyway, thanks afterall. |

Charles Gage
Expertise
I can answer questions dealing with firearms and their development due to western expansion. I can answer most questions about any firearms of the world manufactured after the Civil War(1868 - present. I can offer safety warnings about these. I can offer opinions and the reasons behind these.
Experience
I have been at the study of firearms and their use since my first issue of Field and Stream in 1962.At that time I was completely devoted to rifles, but over the years I have experienced the thrill of the hunt with handguns, shotguns and of course rifles. I moved from Oklahoma to New Mexico in 1972 and since I have taken numerous game and non-game animals with all firearms (cannons excluded)including blackpowder muzzleloading rifles,shotguns and handguns. My favorite handgun for large non-game animals, such as feral hogs, is my Uberti replica of a 1847 Colt Walker. Very heavy, but accurate.
Education/Credentials
I am a 1973 high school graduate. Junior and senior year I developed a class on Wildlife Depredation and Conservation of our Rocky Mountain states. My specialty was the brown bear.
Awards and Honors
New Mexico Hunter Safety Program Instructor 5 year award.
