Sure is, JackRabbit!

It shoots 1" or less, if I do my part. The G2 Contender trigger is aufull. I gota get it fixed one of these days.

Not only is the accuracy great, but it is only around 100f.p.s. slower than a rifle. I used to knock down the far centerfire ram, when shooting shilouette.
It didnt make the guys who load .44mag for shilouette happy . They sure did get themselfs a .17HMR barrel though.

The longest game shot was a treerat at 87y. Not bad for a handgun! I know I can do better, but I was buisy all hunting season . I also turned a cotontail into a mess of "chunky salsa" at 25y.

I also noticed that the groups will shrink after 75rds, with a sweetspot between 100-200rds between barrel cleaning.

I used the thing nonstop, all spring - fall of lastyear!
