Eagle Claw. 22 with slugs

[harrympope]

Maybe not ground breaking but I was surprised the rifle did as well as it did.
At 200 yards the drop was out of scope crosshair so I aimed at a dirt clod about 48" above the target frame to hit paper.
The bullet is the MP 35g .218 "Huben Peanut " clone shot unlubed.

How do you like the rifle? It seems nice and the lever action is unique, but I think the Seneca rifles are a bit overlooked.

it's some cheap shooting.
Unless you factor in the cost of my Omega compressor, great white tank , casting equipment and my time..let's just not let the wife know!

I picked it up at a pawn shop very reasonable and i've tried to sell the things a few times just last month because I wasn't shooting it. Then I took it indoors a few days ago on low power and got well over a hundred shots and it shot nice. Now trying these slugs , the thing is never leaving my house. I really enjoy the gun. I like heavier rifles because I shoot heavier PB Schutzen rifles.So for me it balances wonderful. The younger crowd used to the lighter.More nimble , tactical rifles would probably not care for its balance.

the only thing I don't like is the ping is very pronounced and an annoying sound.
