i think this is gonna be my next toy.  gimmee your impressions, good and bad.  accuracy, reliability, durability (i don't care about scratches on the buffer!).  anyone shot any large mammals with it?  if this is a rerun, please post a link.  thanks!

druncuncas,

I love mine.  I would do it all over again in a second.  Awesome impact.  I shot beside a sharps 45-70 yesterday and I couldn't believe the difference in the sound of impact.  The sharps made a slap sound when it hit the berm.  My Beowulf sounded like you were hitting the berm with a baseball bat.  I have shot several large objects (ie. concrete blocks, gallon jugs of water) with quite pleasing results.  Waiting on the opportunity to find a good hog to try it out on.  Have heard (on this board) of someone taking a water buffalo, but that was a while back.  I have no doubt the round would do it.

Can ya tell I like it!!!

Doc
