It's certainly a work I'm proud of. It's for both, although I don't really hunt much anymore. It's primary purpose would be for Coyote removal. Hence the ability to swap out the scope for thermal since they often need to be hunted at night. The stainless steel barrel also helps to protect it from the weather. It's a peach at the range for sure though, I may do some competitions at the local range just for grins.
