The .375 H&H did its job in Alaska. Without your muzzle brake, I wouldn't have had the confidence to shoot from such an awkward crouch at a 200+ yard target. My left hand was holding down an alder branch to create an open shooting lane. The forearm of the rifle was laying across my knuckles. My knees were bent and I was stock-crawling towards the scope. Needless to say, I was most relieved to have made the shot - and escaped undamaged! A trophy Glacier Bear!!!!!

I'm very pleased to learn that the Shadow shoots the 250 grain A-Frames so well. I hope the 225's do as well. I can play with the 217's until they do their job. I'm certain that the teflon-coated Shadow, with its detachable scope mounts and back-up Swarovski scope, will be "my rifle of choice" for most hunts. Let me know when you're ready to ship. I'll need to send you some money!
