thanks daryl

i think both you and tinker have made a good point about the use of this rifle, and it will be used for bear hopefully this autom.

im afraid that you are right about the 9 drams of black and this gun, but only time will tell. im measuring it up at the moment, because the off face problem looks like it is a matter of a re hooking and thats all, keep fingers crossed.

what can one shoot with a 700 grain RB and 9 drams of black.

ANY frigging thing he wants.......
