Would I buy one? Absolutely!! I am just patiently waiting to hear if they remain non-restricted. If the folks at the RCMP FRT Lab decide they are restricted after all of this, then I guess my answer will be no though. I really like the idea of being able to take it places without having to go by "the most direct route" and not having to use a designated range, I just want to get some gophers with this bad boy, plus ti will look nice alongside my 870!
