Well, I was the last fool standing. This is however, a lovely rifle.

The photos in the catalog did not do justice to the amount of CC present, they make them look washed out. I see no evidence of any cordite burn in the throats with my 3.5X readers, and the bores look new. The rifle points and balances very well for me, although a tad short at 13 3/4 " lop; but just fine for cold weather hunting.

Just returned from the range; and am very pleased. Shooting factory Remmington 180 grainers at 50 yards, the first pair from clean barrels were centered in the bull about 1 1/2" high and 1 1/2 " apart. Second pair had right bbl touching top of 3/4" center dot, and left an inch to the left of the right. Third pair showed right slightly to the left of but touching the second right. I know I pulled the left a bit, and it is 1 1/4 right and slightly below the right bbl group. I'm saving my remaining 5 rounds for a foray after the wary whitetail tomorrow. I think this one is "good to go".

All the best, SXS
