Always wanted one but never got one until this CHRISTmas. Went to the range with the 14" 3030, and the 44mag 14". I really didnt know what to expect. After the first intimidated shot from the 3030 with 150gr., I ended
the day with 40 rounds emptied at the 50, 100 yard range, shooting 3" groups..not great but a little more practice and I can get it down to 1.5 maybe. Also, after the first 20 rds. of 3030, I loaded up the 44mag with 240gr. jhp. The 3030 has a 2x6 Bushnell on it, the 44mag was shot with open sights at the 50yd. Grouped within 8". 20 rounds with it, put the 3030 back on, and 20 more rounds with it. With the pach. grips, 14" barrels this gun is the most fun I have EVER had. It has as of now replaced my 300wsm for deer and hogs. Hands down, the most FUN factor in any of my guns. Suprisingly accurate, recoil is nothing. Damn, I dont know what I was afraid about. And my hand dosent hurt from shooting all this in a 3 hr. period. My 12 year old son even shot the 3030 at the 50yard range, and he ended up with a 5" pattern with 4 shots. Just wanted to let someone know, that as being new to this, firing only a 357 mag. with 8" barrel s/w., anyone feeling intimidated........dont! Nothing but smiles..
