I believe the design intent was to launch heavier match bullets at higher velocity for across the course bullseye shooting. I'm wondering what the barrel life is like? Small bore, heavy bullet and powder charge and high velocity appears to be a recipe for short barrel life. Which, I note, is not mentioned in the reviews.

Of course, the folks who like to shoot vermin at preposterous distances are going to be thrilled-at least until they realize they may be rebarreling after every trip.
