Cayogud-Thanks for the Welcome. This looks like a good site and forum with lots of useful info. I will call Traditions to hear what they have to say about my gun.I've read some bad stuff about those particular guns since I bought mine and thought I'd find a good forum to join andsee if anybody else is having problems. From what I've seen on this site so far though, there are a few people who are having good luck with their Traditions Pursuits. That's good news. My particular gun seems to be put together real tightand shoots really well. It's got good balance and feels natural in the hand. It's a bit light (alloy receiver) for real heavy loads but I don'tdo much elephant hunting in Arkansasanyway. 100 grains of loose Pyrodex is about as much as I'll ever use in it. No complaints with accuracy either.Just some extra fine tuning and it'll be ready to deer hunt. Hopefully that problem with the action popping open is like you said, aneasy fix like maybe a new trip latch or something simple.Anyway, for now I'm a little hesitant to shoot it anymoreuntil I hear from the company. Again, good site and looking forward to getting online again in the near future.

Mike
