Thanks for the feedback. For the record, other than the top lever position I am very satisfied with the gun. Wood fit, metal fit, wood quality, balance, handling, POI, regulation, etc are all good. I wouldn't hesitate buying it again. Just needed some feedback on similar RBLs and shooting in the lever, as I have never had one start out that far to the right in my years of shooting break-open guns. Its current position detracts from an otherwise asthetically pleasing gun.
