Gatsby, I certainly hope an elephant can be lined up for 08 or 09. I brought the subject up with my wife about a week ago and she's all for it.

I should have made clear that target above was at 25yds, not 100! Those we 2 shots w/70gn of Blue Dot at 1070fps. I'm sure the rifle is more accurate than I am. I've done all of my shooting offhand w/o a standing rest, but can still put the first 2 touching or close to it at 50, after about 3 accuracy (read FLICH) goes down hill. It will hopefully be minute-of-brain/heart accurate! As for recoil, I have a nice purple bruise on my upper bicep today. It seems like the gun comes back hard enough to drive my shoulder back and slide onto my arm. Normally I would chalk this up to poor technique or stance, but I've fired about 75 rounds (so I know what I'm getting into!)through it and 4 friends have shot it too, and its exactly the same every time. I've thought about videoing a few shots to see if that offers any ideas. If I can solve that problem comfort, a relative term, should improve markedly. The gun has a generous butt with a huge surface area; my shoulder is not sore at all.

The incrediblely frustrating issue is getting an invalid chronograph reading when firing an abusive load, and knowing I'll have to do it again!!! I test with a few shots from a 22 pistol after set up to ensure everything is functioning, but still with muzzle blast, BP, wadding, etc, there is a bunch of room for potenital problems. BTW, I just got a copy of Terry W.'s "Dangerous Game Rifles" and think this rifle is pictured on page 23, unless there is another surviving Bland single, which would be wonderful.

Regards,

Bob
