My brother bought one of the early Charter Arms models for coon hunting. It seemed to be perfect for that job. You only need to shoot a few rounds and there is a lot of walking up and down hills and lots more near small rivers and creeks. It was like someone designed the perfect rifle for coon hunting.

But that rifle would not hit a coon in a tree except by sheer luck. It had terrible accuracy and on top of that it jammed frequently. It wasn't long before my brother bought another light rifle for coon hunting that really did work well. It wouldn't float but it would hit a coon easily. I don't remember what it was. He sat that one down to cross a fence one night and forgot to pick it up. When he went back for it the next day it was gone. I wish I remember that brand because it worked really well for several years for us.
