Undecided on a great many things
Anyone know much about this gun? The wife bought it for me one Christmas back around 2004 (maybe) from a suggestion, to her, from a friend. Not what I would have bought, but it had it now. Used it then and stopped using it. I started hunting deer with my hawken again and the daughter got older and made loads for it with 777 and Lee REALs and wads.
It has a scope and today I was hunting a long trail and took it instead of my hawken. Loaded 80 grains 777, felt wad and a 240 grain REAL on top. Doe walked out broadside at 60 yards and I pulled the trigger. BANG, my ears are ringing and the blind it pumped full of smoke. I am like WTF happened as the barrel was outside the blind. I got out and reloaded and went to cap it and the bolt wouldn't go back far enough. Then notice it wont lock either and is not pushing up against the breach plug. It would not extract out the back of the gun either. Some internal parts on the bolt broke when firing and ported gas out the back.
Anyone know anything about these? I never paid much attention to them as it was a gift I was not expecting and it worked. I assume it is a cheap gun, but nothing prepared me for what happened today.
