Not sure about that Gary - maybe youngsters or even adult bunny hunters... The one Austin had he called a "rabbit gun" because of the more than four inches of drop on a straight-grip stock. I held that one and was amazed anyone would actually want to shoot it at anything.... but the game had better be on the ground !
Is it still in your collection Gary?
