In reply to: ........the action bar more solid? How on earth does the top lever releasing the cocking slide affect the strength of the action bar?
Allen, you are getting silly! If the rifle doesn't recock the tumblers when it is broken open, then there is no need for the cocking levers normally housed in the BARR! The top lever simply pushes the button back into the rearward possition, and the cocking is done behind the box lock action by the BUTTON!
Now,I'm through with this, after saying, you may shoot what ever suits you! As for me, I'll take the old traditional double rifle thank you! I simply do not think the Blazer is an improvement of the old tried and true double! I consider it not only ugly, but dangerous as well. ......................................BYE!
