mike:
undetermined at this point, gun fits me reasonably well, 6 lbs 8 ozs is a favorable weight, and it seems mechanically sound. downsides are, very heavy trigger pulls - must be 7 or 8 pounds, and a "light game gun" with skt 1 (.005) on one trigger, and half a mile past full (.048) on the other.
this spring, i moved to southern new mexico for keeps....and moved away from phil crenwelge - who's shop was an hour from my house. he could adjust the excessive trigger pulls, and cut the 48 thou back toward 20-25 thou.
at this time the jury is still out - but it's always enjoyable to do the research on a neat old gun...
best regards,
tom
