Hey Chris,

As far as the trigger and trigger tab, I messed up. I was actually referring to that little pivoting portion of the hammer (the extra safety). I should have called it the "hammer tab", not trigger tab. My bad. Dooooooooh.

But having to make sure it is in the right position for the right exercise is what I was referring to. I can see accidentaly leaving it flipped up when I want it down and visa-versa.

I can see that taking some getting use to. It automatically flips up into the safe position when the hammer is cocked back. You have to push it forward before the rifle will fire.I like the idea though and don't see it beingmajor issue.

Is the breech/primer at all waterproofed? If not, any way to do so? Just curious

It really doesn't say in any of the literature with the rifle. Looking at the way it closes up, it appears the primer and breech would be very well protected from moisture though.

Chris, any blowback from the action? Any deposits on your scope?

Nice shooting!

While shooting, I felt no perceivable blow back from the action. There's one tiny spot on the bottom of the scope that seems to be the result of some blow back out the top of the action, but it's just barelynoticable after almost 30 shots fired yesterday.

That little bit of blow back hitting the bottom of your scope will eventually take off the finish. Clean it well and put a piece of black electrical tape or duct tape on the bottom half of the scope to protect it.

It's already done.

Chris,

Any further range (like 100yd accuracy with Great Plains) or functional reports on the KRB7? I just can't seem to take my eyes of this rifle as an option.

Nothing new as of yet. Works been hectic and the range is only open 3 days a week. Not this weekend, but the next looks very promising though.
