It is a good looking gun, however.

To bad no one chambers it in .357 ;D

Post by: 2HOW on April 04, 2008, 05:27:55 PM: Great shooting rifles but a bit anemic in the power dept. I would opt for a more powerful rifle for defense, but these are great plinker's. I like the plastic furniture, the originals have a great look also.

That family certainly has a penchant for drama to say the least. Justin sounds like he's one of the more low key members of the family, they only had a sentence or two about him in his dad's biography.

No REAL surprise, Moon himself started as an arms dealer.
