No worries about me ever getting the Blaser double rifle - why they designed it so it doesn't recock when reloaded is beyond me. The barrel overhang didn't sit well with me when I saw it.

One day I'll get by the SCI convention (due to some work and family issues it won't be this year) and I'll do a "feel off" though I'm not sure what's the difference in how they should feel. The only one's I've felt and decided that were just wrong for me were the Blaser and the Merkel - I didn't like the bit for the crossbolt sticking out.

Now that Hornady is loading .450/400 and .450, I can't see going to .458 any longer. Further, .450/400 sounds like a better load by my standards. No more rimless DR ideas from me.
