Limitations, in my mind:

1. No aftermarket magazines. Browning mags are expensive, so keep an eye out for used mags. Higher cap mags aren't possilbe due to the lever.

2. Thin barrel. Not really a big deal, but it heats up and does after multiple shots alter my point of aim. Again, this isn't really that sort of rifle, but be aware.

3. Two piece stock - slinging it hard alters point of aim, just like most other factory lever type setups.

4. Trigger is heavy. There are one or two guys who will work on them, but I have learned to live with mine. The smooth action more than makes up for it.

I actually like the factory iron sights, at least on mine. Easy to use well, and somewhat low profile. I do think the rifle, and my shooting, would benefit from an aperture rear at a minimum.

Enjoy! I will be interested in how you're coming along with it.
