Not exactly what I would call a plinking gun. I wanted one of these a couple years ago for target shooting but balked at the thousands of dollars it would cost. Had to be honest with myself and realize that the reason I wanted it was to have the biggest, coolest gun on the range.
I obtained a C&R and bought a couple Mausers. Turkish, Yugo, and one German K-98. Ammo is dirt cheap and they are loads of fun to shoot.
I've got to admit, that's part of the deal. Some buy boats or cars or women. My choice is cheaper......by far.
