NE450No2,
I'll be glad to report back after shooting it. I don't think that will happen until after New Year.

I think one of the best features of owning a Krieghoff set like this is living 2 hours from Krieghoff International. Any questions and or service is quickly responded to and quickly handled.

After playing with the cocking lever (did that come out right) it doesn't seem like I'll have any trouble getting used to it's function.

I'll keep you posted after the first shooting session.
