ok finally got mine out to the Smiths Falls range today.

First ran 25 rounds of el cheapo winchester 7 1/2s through it to break it in. Went bang every time. recoil is actually fairly mild the gun tended to push straight back no climb to speak of. did a bit of hip shooting ( held against side of body) - no issues.

fired shells lifted out no problem- light finger pull on right barrel, bit tighter on left - got easier later on. (Better than most of my 870's with this stuff) so a light ceramic ball polish may be in order. Gun snaps closed after loading no issues.

Ran 10 ancient orange S&B slugs - 5 on a b-34 PPC target ( 25 & 15 yards), 5 on an IPSC classic target ( 15 & 12 yards) no recoil issues. on the B34 got 4 point of aim + 3 inches, and 1 shoulder hit at 25 yards. on the IPSC classic 1 hit was high, 4 were POI plus 3 -6 inches high, about 6 inches horizontal spread at 15 yards, 4 inches horizontal at 12 yards. so within 15 yards - minute of bear or moose or zombie - deal with confidence.

Tried 2 rounds of 3 inch turkey loads at 20 yards #5s. patterned high. - solid wall of shot. - recoil definitely was there but manageable.

did notice slight looseness in forend after 20 rounds. but no big deal- will investigate for loose screws.

anyway there you have it boys & girls. So bottom line I'm quite happy -:D:D value for $$, plus half again. Thanks Canam, and a toast to Dave Tomlinson's memory who helped make this possible.


Will post my "bonafides" pic when I figure out how. Cheers All
 
If you do find the cause of the foreend looseness please post it on here, I have the same issue and can't figure out what it is.
 
I put a small piece of foam( about 1/8" thick) in the barrel channel of my Backpacker fore end to tighten it up....
 
Took mine to the range, shot like a dream, extracting was a bit tight, but that just needs to be worked in, tried to take a video for you guys but camera didn't work, so I shot it, then remembered i had it on the wrong setting, ah well, at least I know it aims well 15 feet out.

Will get you a video next week.
 
JohnC , thanks for the great range report. If you have problems with posting your pics, PM me and I'll post em for you.

I got mine to the range today. That is a lot of fun in a small package :dancingbanana: :rockOn: !!

The only issue I have with mine is that it's hard to open sometimes after firing. The barrel lock may need a bit of polishing. Other than that, she goes bang every time, recoil is no problem (shoulder or hip) but I do find the LOP a bit long. May look at replacing the pad with a thinner one or chopping the stock. Forgot to take a piece of cardboard to check the pattern, so I shot up the few remaining mounds of snow :D .

My proof of ownership.

(E) :cool:
 
These seem like fine guns to me. I hope to become an owner of one in the near future so I can join the ranks of the 30 happy owners who have voted here.

You 10 who are not happy with your Outlaws, fire me a PM. I can give a good home to one of them.
 
my bona fides

While learning photo uploading investigated the loose forend. Screws were a little loose. tightened them ( Self, apply blue loctite next time you find the tube while looking for something else...:rolleyes:) Forend still loose.

Applied strip of ductape to concave end of foreend that mates with action part. Too tight would not close :(

Removed ductape and applied 1 small brown target patch pastie to said concave end. Foreend closed nicely and now rock solid like Bank of England used to be :D ( self, try replacing target patch with small strip of silver aluminum duct tape when roll is found while looking etcetc.:rolleyes:)

life is good.:D:D time for a beer...:cool:

Not Happy

I fired 10 rounds through it and I could see seperation marks on both barrels. I sent it back to Canada Ammo and am waiting for the replacement. I would have preferred my money back though.
Never again am I going to waste money on a piece of crap like this.
I could have bought 1500 rounds of 9mm and actually had a positive experience.

Another one bites the dust. You wouldn't have any pic's of the barrel separation would you?

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Barrel and rib soldering of a sxs is a potential weakness if not done properly. I've seen guns costing far more than an Outlaw have rib problems.

Any chance you can work an arrangement to get a different gun from them? The 870 clones are better guns and that 12" Grizzly would be a fun gun to play with.
