Beautiful Rob. And remember while I kinda promised my wife that what I just ordered would be my last kit, I made no mention of it being my last gun.

Just a comment, doesn't mean anything one way or another. I used to do alot of hunting from a canoe with my carolina gun with a 48" barrel. I had no problems loading it while sitting in a canoe.
