Nah, I wasn't hunting. I was just testing the gun (first firing session with it). Basically just wanted to see how she shot, accuracy, recoil, POI etc. I did notice that the gun chewed the rounds up a bit when chambering though. The accuracy was my main focus since I continually read how accurate these rifles happen to be, I was going to wait and try it with a scope but I couldn't stand it- had to shoot it with stock sights. The accuracy with the stock sights actually impressed me quite a bit.
