it was Jeremy's (Smaug) until the very end. I was the guy with the loud big bore. I'm sure he was as open for others to check it out as he was with me. I originally wanted a synthetic .25 but after shooting it I had to have it so we worked a trade. still might have to get a .25. it is a wonderful rifle. I made a couple changes to make it mine. I also changed the trigger spring that rides on the trigger linkage with a lighter one I had and it made the trigger amazing. it's not marauder awesome but not far behind. I recommend every pb owner to change that spring for a much lighter trigger. I'm really enjoying being more accurate offhand. I wish I'd tried a bullpup sooner since I hunt some rough terrain in eastern Kentucky. I'm looking forward to getting it fixed so I can start counting squirrels with it. if you see me at a shoot just ask and I'll gladly let anyone shoot it.
