I bought a new field grade on the basis of the good reputation accuracy etc i had read about on the net ,it prints 5 inches low at 50 yards with the Regulated load ,the first time i loaded both barrels and closed the action, the right barrel discharged on its own ,taking the skin off my fore finger which was behind the trigger guard ,if i dont open the action with sufficient snap the left barrel will not cock ,then it broke the right firing pin which flew out the barrel ,you can see the solder along the barrel rib, isnt it supposed to be blued ? i would check it out thoroughly if you decide to buy one .

Bloody-hell!

Did you every contact the maker? I assume the rifle must have been 'pre-owned' when you purchased it but even so, you'd think he'd want to know, and maybe help out.

I ordered the rifle New for my 50th ,so i could have something ''Good ''after alot of crap in my life in the past 30 years ,i contacted the Maker and asked if there was a gunsmith in Australia he recommended for repairing it and got no answer ,when the firinfg pin broke i contacted him again ,he said he would send some replacements ,that was months ago and nothing contacted him again and no reply gave up on him
