Hi hpdrifter. I'm ashamed to say that I really haven't given the Wickliffe much of a workout. I had to hunt around to find the right combination of scope mounts for it as noone had them listed and i had a bunch I won on Ebay that I got to work. Then there was alot of life's surprises handed to me all at once. I plan on doing some shooting with it this summer. It is a nicely built rifle.
