I have had one for years, I have the 41. Mag barrel, .223 barrel, and the .22 LR barrel. I am able to thread ragged holes at 100 yds with the open sites on the 41 mag. as long as I can get an extremely good rest, but even with just holding the barrel I can keep it within a paper plate. None of mine have a compensator on them and the recoil is manageable, I have even shot one of the 45-70 Govt with out the compensator. While it wasn't something that I'd do everyday it wasn't bad.
I think that it would be great for stand hunting, it will have no problem taking down a big deer.
It's a trappers life for me

inside 100 yards with a decent bullet , you will have venison on the table.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
