    A friend of mine has one. His wife bought it for him a Cabelas about 15 years ago. He only uses it occasionally but hasn't said of any problems.

    Probably the reason they were not made long as they were more than twice the price of a H&R Huntsman and offered nothing more.

    i found one mans revue of them on line,he said they cost 130.00 with just ml barrel and 220.00 with a rifle and shot gun barrel also included,and was a decent shooter,the factory also built 2 kinds of black powder and that's what exploded killing 2 people.if it doesnt shoot well i guess nothing really lost,i got it cheap in a deal with a few other guns.RFD im not trying to play Daniel Boone just wanna extend my hunting season and may need it for Ohio if i get a chance to go.
