Sounds about like the one I have. Mine is with ejectors and was supposedly regulated with scope. I really like the rifle, asise from poor regulation. JJ has had the rifle for re-regulation since this summer. He's having trouble getting the barrels to shoot in the right place. I'm sure mine is one of those exceptions.

You will love the rifle and the 9.3 round.

Congratulations! Sounds like a beauty. If you're not certain of extractors, you might want to add ejectors. You can disable ejectors but it would be tough to add them at a later time.

WY - One is bound to slip through once in a while. How off was it, and is Chapuis footing the bill as warranty work?

Jim,

Right bbl. shoots about 3.5" high and right about the same distance.

Have not talked about $ with JJ yet. It should be free of charge. I would simply like to have the rifle right and back. I used it essentially as a single shot in Zim this May. Fortunately, one shot was enough.
