I should also mention that there are some features I really like about the gun. The trigger is great. Probably 2.5 pounds and no creep. The breech plug really is fingers only, though it can get a little snug. I really like the thumbhole stock and break open action. Really easy to take the foreend off and remove the barrel--just like a over/under shotgun. Externally, the Accura would still be my first choice--just having some unexpected problems.
