I have one, its taken 3 deer two black bear and one calf. Shoots around 1.5" @ 100yrds. Can't say anything bad about it. Enjoy!

i have one also, very nice rife. havent shot anything with it though. its a great rifle for the tree stand, ground blind or close range hunting.

The good parts is that it is easy to carry, reasonably accurate (2"@100 yards) and hits hard in a package the same size as most rimfires.

The bad is the trigger as it comes from the factory. Heavy with a lot of creep. A Volquartsen sear makes a real difference. Mine is a little fussy on ammo. Shoots the Hornady Leverevolution very will but not good with Winchster White Box. Shoots heavy bullets very well. My load of choice is a 270 grain Speer soft-point over a max load of H110. It's pushing 1,700fps and shoots well.

I like mine so much it's putting up a serious challenge to my short Remington 870 as my go-to farm gun.

These are light guns as well only 5 1/4 lbs unscoped.

May be able to extend the effective range a bit with Hornady's LeverEvolution ammo.

And... No lefty! I sort of want one of these. I will have to start shooting right bolts left handed I guess.

I picked up a walnut/blued one recently, I love it to death, but unfortunately, I've only held it and hugged it, so far. Will get to shooting it one day soon, hopefully!
