I HAVE a Bmag and have USED it for hunting for three seasons now and love the gun. Mine is the skinny barrel version . I have bedded the action area and with the newer ammo it shoots great. I have killed around 80 coons , 3-4 wood chucks , 4 feral cats , and one big beaver with mine . Kills fast and no pass throughs with 20 grainers at close ranges 10 feet to 30 yards ( the distance for most coon calling ) and a few crows at 150 yards . It has a lot of hammer when it hits , blows up , and on center mass hits , no pass throughs . Don't graze your nice furbearer or you get a big deduction on price . Jim
