customConverting the rolling block pistolinto a superior silhouette competitor"H owdcha do?" I'd spent over twomonths testing the custom rollingblock and had decided it was time to getsomeone else's impressions ofmy progeny.Accordingly, I'd asked AI, one of ourbetter shooters, to meet me at the rangethat Saturday to test the pistol in simulatedmatch conditions. I'd given him the pistol,300 rounds of assorted factory and reloadedammo, and sent him off to BlackCanyon's silhouette Range to try his luck.He's back now, and I can't wait to hearhow he did."Well, I sorted through the ammo, andstarted out with some of those 165 loads.Fired enough to get sighted in, and figureout what holds to use, and then shotthrough. Took all 40. Then I found a boxof180's,· fired a few to check the holds, andshot another 40. Had a few rounds left so Itook some chickens out to the ram line andwent six for seven. It shoots good. I like it."Good? Hell, that's at least alright! An 80backed up with 6 X 7 on 200 meter chickens.The first time out!I'm all smiles, and so is he. We comparenotes for awhile. He wants one, and so doI, but I've got other plans for this particulargun.The pistol was born ofa desire to find anunlimited gun that would shoot possibles,day in and day out, yet would have some ofthe other attributes most looked for in apistol.The bolt guns are relentlessly efficient indoing what they are designed for-takingAbove, (I-r): J50 gr.
