One more thing, get some #5 lead or bismuth for that shotgun and you'll stone pheasant all day.

I have a Fausti Dea, without the side plates, that I bought about 4 years ago. They are nice shooters, especially in the 20 bore. If you paid $1400 for that shotgun, you got a great deal. I bought my Dea and paid $4000 new.

Personally, I'll most likely only ever shoot the Barnes 300gr TSX flat base ammo as long as I own this rife. Reason being is that they just work for my needs. Elk, Moose, Deer, Cape Buffalo, and Gray Squirrels in my wife's garden.

You best buy that rifle or I will.

Oh, and not a dumb question at all. Trust me, with some of the things I seen on this forum.

Is that rifle made in Portugal? If so, buy it. I have one in 375 H&H and it is a keeper.

Here we go again. Same crap, different flies.
