I HAD to go shooting that day. Danged if I'm doing that again with any rifle. Shortly after was when I learned those few of us early owners were to solve the rifles problems. I solved two and thus far have heard of nobody being killedbya Thunderblot at least.

When you pay $600+ dollars for a rifle, you don't anticipate being a pre-production tester on a rifle already in production. It's the kind of scenario you might expect to encounter if a bead salesman was running the company. [:@]

Chit! Ah'z steel cussin'.
