GMC Terrain Real World MPG
Trying to keep the forum from getting rusty from lack of use.
On a 1100 mile trip last week I managed to average 26.5 MPG (calculated).
Not much city driving at all and terrain was fairly flat. Kept speeds at 60 MPH or below with cruise on when I could.
Not to bad with the AWD 6 CYL that has EPA highway estimate of 22MPG.
This is the other halfs daily driver and she drives under less then ideal conditions (plus the foot may be a tad heavier), but the average MPG as indicated in D.I.C. is hanging in at 23.1 for the last 5k miles or so since last reset.
Anyone else getting reasonable milage out of theirs?

tim192 Posts: 1I bought a 2011 Terrain and have 7200 miles on it. I have the 4 Cyl FWD SLT-2. It's rated at 32 mpg highway. However, I am getting 25.9 on average. My daily commute is 50% 60 - 75 mph highway and 50% city traffic traveling around 40 - 60 mph.
I wonder if the larger engine would actually get me the better gas mileage due to the speeds I'm traveling. I'm guessing the 32 mpg rating was driving a constant 55 mph.0
My 2011 4 cyl Terrain averages 22.7 MPG with ECO or without. Long way from the 32 in their ads and 38 MPG as a high on the sticker on the car when I bought it. This is my last GMC product! Dealer says not their fault...MPG is set by EPA...EPA is not smart enough to pour one gallon of gas in car and drive it until it runs out of gas! I will go with Ford or Japan product next purchase! You are doing better than me...so that is good news for you!
jlamb24 Posts: 22012 V6 AWD...18.4 stinking MPG...18.4!!!!!!!! It's almost laughable and I want to scream every time a commercial comes on touting the MPG .0
My 2010 AWD V6 for the last 2200 miles averaged 21.4 mpg.
This is around town, both hwy & city.0
Ours has done well also after the first 3500 miles or so on it. Does best when the tach is in the 1450~> 1500 RPM range if I can find a speed and gear that will keep it there. Also don't use auto-climate control.0
I share all of your thoughts on this disgusting vehicle. I bought it for the gas mileage - 32 mpg - and thought it might get 27-28 on the highway. I can get that when I tow it behind my motorhome with the engine off. Every time I saw that commercial, I wanted to reach out and grab those folks. I have had GM products for many years (I am 62) but also have had Toyotas and Hondas. I only wish we would have looked at the CRV - but, GMC was touting better gas mileage!
A class action suit would be great - I think "tweeting" and Facebook would bring in lots of angry folks. Of course for me, I refuse to drive it - my wife drives it to work - I drive a Toyota Hybrid Camry (76000 miles on it) - and I get 38-41 mpg. Of course it is not made in America by GM!0
The EPA rating is not done by GM.
GM may use the ratings for ads.0
If I may, here is some information on the fuel economy estimate process.
The fuel economy estimates are based on results of tests required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These tests are used to certify that vehicles meet the federal emissions and fuel economy standards. Manufacturers test pre-production prototypes of the new vehicle models and submit the test results to EPA. EPA re-tests about 10% of vehicle models to confirm the manufacturer's results. The vehicles are driven by a professional driver under controlled laboratory conditions, on an instrument similar to a treadmill. These procedures ensure that each vehicle is tested under identical conditions; therefore, the results can be compared with confidence.
There are two different fuel economy estimates for each vehicle in the fuel economy guide, one for city driving and one for highway driving. To generate these two estimates, separate tests are used to represent typical everyday driving in both a city and a rural setting. Two kinds of engine starts are used: the cold start, which is similar to starting a car in the morning after it has been parked all night; and, the hot start, similar to restarting a vehicle after it has been warmed up, driven, and stopped for a short time.
The test used to determine the city fuel economy estimate simulates an 11-mile stop-and-go trip with an average speed of 20 miles per hour (mph). The trip takes 31 minutes and has 23 stops. About 18 percent of the time is spent idling to simulate waiting at traffic lights or rush hour traffic. The maximum speed is 56 mph. The engine is initially started after being parked overnight. Vehicles are tested at 68 F to 86 F ambient temperatures.
The test to determine the highway fuel economy estimate represents a mixture of "non-city" driving. Segments corresponding to different kinds of rural roads and interstate highways are included. The test simulates a 10-mile trip and averages 48 mph. The maximum speed is 60 mph. The test is run with the engine warmed up and has little idling time and no stops (except at the end of the test).
I hope this helps to clarify how these tests are done; while it is almost certain that the fuel economy experienced will differ from the estimate, these figures are provided for comparison shopping.

Thanks Sarah for your comments. The problem is GM puts a sticker on my Terrain that states 26 city and 38 highway and the ads show 32 average with 600 miles a tank of gas...this car doesn't exist. I averaged 22.7 mpg city/highway. Since these mpg are set by EPA you can't take legal action on this scam. So I traded my new Terrain for the new Prius V...you know what? I am getting 43 mpg which is the figure on the sticker. Liked the V so well that I went back and purchased a Prius 2...it shows 55 mpg but I am averaging 57 mpg! I won't buy another GM product again. I cannot understand some reviews stating that they get 32 mpg on the 2012! I have talked to other Terrain customers and they are getting 18-21 mpg. So we are a Prius family (is owning 2 Prius make us a Prii Family?). Thanks for your comments but at the consumer end we want results on mpg claims and not testing procedures explained or consumer blamed for not driving correctly.0
I wish I could get rid of the Terrain - but it is worth so little (2011) that I will be stuck with it until I can again afford a new vehicle. It is interesting how the Toyota products actually do achieve what the sticker says - my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid actually does 39-41 mpg and it has 80,000 miles on it. That miserable Terrain will do 22-23 mpg on the highway. Of course the testing that was done is accurate???? Sounds to me like GM has some kind of deal with the government - like the "bailout".
All I can do now is continue to inform people that it is a "gas hog". I will continue to post wherever I can how poorly it performs. I too will not buy another GM product! I would like to see results as well - and I don't think testing procedures and driving habits cause it to perform at such a low level.
And Sarah, if you do want to contact me (I will not go through GM's website and answer 40 questions before I can leave an email) you can contact me directly at [email protected]0
I'm not sure how or why you would compare a Terrain to a Prius. They are not even close to the same type vehicle. Most Prius drivers drive like an old lady so they will get better MPG. And, Toyoto's biggest complaint on the Prius: It doesn't get the advertised MPG. Go figure!
On my V6 AWD I'm averaging 20.5 MPG combined hwy & city. And I drive like a maniac.I am very happy with my Terrain.0
mcity Posts: 1Two weeks into ownership of my 2010 SLE-2 3.0 with 25k miles, I have a fill-up confirmed average of 25.5MPG. This is all metropolitan driving; 30% city-suburban surface street, and 70% urban freeway.
I have found the best city mileage is obtained by accelerating to get to 40MPH reasonably quickly, so the trans locks. On the highway, economy drops off rapidly over 70MPH.
This vehicle is pretty heavy for the engine, so momentum is your friend on the road to decent fuel economy.0
I continue to complain about the mileage on a 2011 Terrain - 4 cyl. The best I could get was a trip this summer - 2400 miles PHL to Minneapolis...55-70 mph - no city driving at all. I got 27.3 mpg.
GMC did a consumption test when I got home - drove 86 miles - city & highway and GUESS WHAT - they said it really does 38.88 mpg! Wasn't that a great test? I guess someone has been siphoning gas out of my tank for the miles that I have driven since I can't get close to 32 mpg!
Wish I had never seen this vehicle - but now am stuck with it! Guess I need a locking gas cap!!!0
twoyou Posts: 1I am a Terrain owner and enjoy my vehicle. Until this purchase, I have always driven a Ford product and was looking to improve my fuel mileage when the Terrain was introduced. I do own the 4 cyl. vehicle and I did purchased it mostly for the MPG, but I am also impressed by the interior space and other basic features. I have had no problem with the crossover and enjoy driving it very much. To those that have had difficulty obtaining the maximum MPG...try driving with the "ECO" on at all times. It did take a little getting use to, but I have adjusted. I always average at least 30 mpg on the highway and close to the max in city. To those that are comparing their Terrain to a hybrid of some sort...you are not comparing apples to apples and my guess is that you paid quite a bit more for your vehicle.
I am happy with my choice to purchase a Terrain0
We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying your Terrain, twoyou!
Many more happy miles,
GM Customer Service0
amburkes Posts: 1I purchased this vehicle for the MPG, and the MPG ONLY. It is a 2011 with 20,000 miles on it. I traded a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 Crew Cab due to relocation, and my commute changing from 1 mile to 100 miles a day. In retrospect, I could have kept the giant gas guzzler I loved as it only got 2 MPG less than this miserable excuse for a fuel efficient vehicle. The only reason I purchased this vehicle was due to the 32 mpg fallacy that was printed on the window sticker. My daily commute is 98% 4 lane highway with a 65 mph speed limit, and I average 23.2 mpg. I have driven this vehicle for an uninterrupted 35 miles on a flat, Mississippi delta highway, with the cruise set to 55, and the air off in 85 degree weather, and could not touch 30 MPG, much less the 32 MPG advertised.
The worst part in all of this is that now, the trade value is next to nothing due to the current incentives placed on the vehicle. As no one in their right mind will buy this vehicle, GM has placed incentives on it that practically give it away; thus, making us practically have to give them away to get rid of them.
I can honestly say, after having this vehicle, I will never buy another GMC product again (to emphasize the significance of my displeasure, 5 of my last 8 vehicles in the last 11 years have been GM products.) GM, you either need to pull this vehicle and do some serious R&D, or brace yourselves to lose many more loyal customers.0
Yes - it is a piece of crap. The dealer did fuel consumption test on my 2011 terrain and had the nerve to tell me that it really did 38.9 mpg on their test of my vehicle! I too have had many GM products in the 47 years I have been driving - and no, there will never be another GM product. We are paying twice - considering the government bailout - what a fiasco!0
I assume you have the 4 cyl, I have seen elsewhere some get close to the EPA numbers on sticker, and of course others don't. On my 6 cyl it doesn't shift into highest gear until 56 MPH or so and I usually set cruise to 57-60 MPH for better numbers. A couple times when on a trip I have noticed MPG isn't what I would expect and after checking found it was inadvertently left in re-circ or defrost mode for HVAC, correcting that made for better numbers ( I also for some reason don't like the auto setting for HVAC)0
Good morning amburkes,
We're sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the fuel economy you are getting with your Terrain.
The fuel economy estimates are based on results of tests required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These tests are used to certify that vehicles meet the federal emissions and fuel economy standards. Manufacturers test pre-production prototypes of the new vehicle models and submit the test results to EPA. EPA re-tests about 10% of vehicle models to confirm the manufacturer's results. The vehicles are driven by a professional driver under controlled laboratory conditions, on an instrument similar to a treadmill. These procedures ensure that each vehicle is tested under identical conditions; therefore, the results can be compared with confidence.
The EPA's fuel economy estimates are designed to allow consumers to comparison shop. Your fuel economy will almost certainly vary from EPA's fuel economy rating. This is based on a number of factors, such as weather, road conditions, driving and maintenance habits, and the use of air conditioning. For more information on how your fuel economy can vary, or tips to improve your fuel economy, please visit "Your MPG Will Still Vary" and "Gas Mileage Tips" on www.fueleconomy.gov.

technojunkie1 Posts: 4Like most Terrain Drivers I cannot get any where near the mileage displayed on the car and advertised in all the media ads. Simply put, this vehicle does not get 32 MPG on the highway. I have owned numerous vehicles, mostly GM and have ALWAYS achieved the mileage posted on the sticker and more. So what's the dealio GM? You know you have a problem. Why can't you admit it take it on the chops like Hyundai and reimburse owners of the vehicle and the Chevy Equinox? Even the dealers I spoke to warned my not to expect the mileage on the sticker. Based on my past history I thought they were fools. No more, it was me that was fooled. The service people say the same thing. They have no idea why the vehicle does not get the mileage as advertised.
It probably has something to do with government buyout. The old stand on your own two feet GM built vehicles that performed. My 2012 SLE FWD 4 Cyl is very disappointing. I have seen it get up to 28 but that's about the best I can expect.0
I agree - however, GM did a consumption test on my 2011 FWD 4 cyl and guess what? The dealer said it does 38.8 mpg! I think you need to bring to Quakertown, PA, Star GMC - they obviously know something that you or I do not know. I would like to know where the gas is going - I guess it is leaking out somewhere since I can only get 27.5 mpg under the BEST of conditions.
By the way, I never get a response from GMC on this website; guess they don't like me making fun of their poor gas mileage. I love my Toyota Camry Hybrid - 95,000 miles and it still gets 38 - 41 mpg! Too bad we bought the GMC in a weak moment - now we are STUCK with it. Nobody wants them!
The best part - GMC believed the dealer's number! Isn't that interesting!0
roonierella Posts: 1I reluctantly purchased my 2012 GMC Terrain SLT-2 in July 2013 and have been trying to get rid of it for months. I will never purchase another GMC. My two biggest complaints are the blind spots and the gas mileage. What a joke on the gas mileage! I have yet to have a tank of gas where I average over 27 miles (estimating high) per gallon when driving mostly on the highway. I usually average about 20 mpg, and that includes highway driving on a regular basis. I track my fuel purchases and there is no cost-benefit to owning the Terrain. The in-city mpg estimates are a joke. I put a 5-figures down-payment on my vehicle and after having it only 3 months I would have only gotten about $3,000 over what I owe on a trade-in. That was with less than 3,000 miles on it.
I regret EVER going to the GMC dealer and considering the Terrain. It will be a happy day when I no longer have to look at that car in my driveway.0
Ah yes - another satisfied Terrain owner! I share your pain - it is a worthless piece of ???.
The good news - I received a card in the mail to "test drive" a GMC and get a $50 gift card. I went right away - drove the Terrain and expressed my dissatisfaction to the salesperson (who was very nice.) I am so happy - I was able to recoup $50 of this miserable investment!
Just remember - my dealer said I get 38.8 mpg! Star GMC, Quakertown, PA - that is the place to check it out! I just can't imagine where the gas goes - guess it evaporates!!!0

lefty54 Posts: 4I am puzzled as to why "Sarah" from GM Customer Service posts here? Aren't these forums for consumers? I have read a lot of consumer comments about many vehicles on Edmunds and I haven't seen other car makers reps making comments.
We don't need to hear "I'm sorry you are not satisfied....." over and over.
I would prefer if the car companies stayed off of these threads.0
I think it's great that GM customer service is on here. Most of these forums are sought out by people that aren't happy. If you can have some help by GM all the better.
After 3 years my SLT2 V6 AWD Terrain with 46,000 miles continues to be great. I am very happy with my car. I tire of people trashing the car as junk, etc. Mine has been good so far and I am happy.
Most happy people do not seek these forums.
mea5 Posts: 1I have had the Terrain for almost 3 months and I never even come close to getting the MPG that GMC claims the Terrain gets. The best I have ever gotten was 23.2 and that was on a road trip with all highway miles. I used to have a hybrid escape until my husband totalled it so I know how to drive a car to maximize gas mileage. I looked for a replacement for months for a SUV or crossover with good gas mileage. I finally decided on the 2012 4cyl FWD GMC Terrain because it claimed to get 32 MPG on the highway. I typically average about 18-20 MPG. I would have NEVER purchased this car if I had known that I would never come close to the estimated MPG. I will never buy a GMC again...they are dishonest. Sign me up for the class action!0
Yes - it is true. This vehicle does not come close to the "quoted" mpg. It is a classic GM ripoff. They still advertise it this way - I can't get that kind of mileage going downhill!
It will be a happy day when I get rid of it. Unfortunately, I own the 2011 vehicle and now I am stuck until it depreciates to some number I can live with.0
Hi mea5,
I am very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your MPG. I have provided a website that can help explain the determining factors associated with MPG. Hopefully it helps shed a little light:-) http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/factors.shtml
Crystal L-GM Customer Care0
Hi Crystal,
Why don't you tell the customer to go to Star GMC, Quakertown, PA? They did a consumption test on our 2011 Terrain and said it does 38.8 - yes, 38.8 MPG! We have asked them to tell us where the fuel goes - guess it just evaporates somewhere!
The imports actually get what is on the sticker - wonder who pays off who to get those inflated numbers on the GMC products???
Bernie - a very dissatisfied customer0

TROUT RIVER, Newfoundland, April 29 (UPI) -- The rotting stench of a bloated blue whale has residents of Trout River, Canada, worried. The dead whale washed ashore more than a week ago and has since doubled in size -- its belly like an overinflated balloon.
Locals are concerned with the growing stench, and also apprehensive about the possibility that it's methane-filled stomach might soon explode -- spewing stinky whale guts all over the beach and boardwalk.
The whale is one of nine that were reported dead off the coast of Newfoundland, apparently crushed by a large ice flow that changed directions and trapped the pod of giant mammals.
According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, several have been found beached along the West Coast of the Canadian island: one in Trout River, one in Rocky Harbour, and another in the Bakers Brook area.
Normally, a beached whale carcass on a lonely stretch of shore can simply be left to rot -- carried off and consumed, piece by piece, by carnivores and predators. But right off the boardwalk of a town like Trout River, a humongous dead whale is more of a problem.
"It's only going to be a matter of time before it warms up and the smell becomes unbearable," Trout River Town Clerk Emily Butler said.
Understandably, businesses along the boardwalk are worried about the damper the growing smell could put on storefront traffic during tourist season.
Newfoundlanders fear rotting whale carcasses could soon explode http://t.co/tmcYTBBXSX pic.twitter.com/ldA1jLeY2V— CTV News (@CTVNews) April 29, 2014
But a small fishing village like Trout River doesn't exactly have the resources to haul off a giant blue whale. Not only that, the town also needs a special permit to carve up and dispose of an endangered species like a blue whale.
For researchers like Dr. Jack Lawson, with Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the occurrence is sad but compelling.
"We rarely get a chance to look at a whole blue whale," he Lawson said. "So, this is an opportunity for us to collect samples from animals that normally aren't easy to find and approach."
"For scientists, even a dead animal is a source of excitement."

Another feature that the GlassFish Server provides is the read-only bean, an entity bean that is never modified by an EJB client. Read-only beans avoid database updates completely.
Read-only beans are specific to the GlassFish Server and are not part of the Enterprise JavaBeans Specification, v2.1. Use of this feature for an EJB 2.1 bean results in a non-portable application.
A read-only bean can be used to cache a database entry that is frequently accessed but rarely updated (externally by other beans). When the data that is cached by a read-only bean is updated by another bean, the read-only bean can be notified to refresh its cached data.
The GlassFish Server provides a number of ways by which a read-only bean's state can be refreshed. By setting the refresh-period-in-seconds element in the sun-ejb-jar.xml file and the trans-attribute element (or @TransactionAttribute annotation) in the ejb-jar.xml file, it is easy to configure a read-only bean that is one of the following:
Always refreshed
Periodically refreshed
Never refreshed
Programmatically refreshed
Access to CMR fields of read-only beans is not supported. Deployment will succeed, but an exception will be thrown at runtime if a get or set method is invoked.
Read-only beans are best suited for situations where the underlying data never changes, or changes infrequently. For further information and usage guidelines, see Using Read-Only Beans.

This was a great story because it has a very exciting ending. This story reminds me of when I can't find something and at last I make a plan because that's what Archie does. I also like the story because the illustrations are like dark shadows.
I highly recommend this book because it is hilarious. I would want people who like imaginary and funny things to read it. People of all ages would love this book because it will make you laugh!

FIGHT NIGHT at SOL: FFT vs Hamas (&Hezbollah)
Thursday, July 20, 2006, 6:30 PM, FIGHT NIGHT at SOL: FFT vs. Hamas (& Hezbollah), SOL: 609 West 29th Street, New York City. Fuel For Truth is a New York based 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to gather and disseminate accurate information about Israel and the Middle East. Fuel For Truth believes that an anti-Israel bias in the media has led a significant number of people to become misinformed about the situation in the Middle East. We at Manhattan Society.com concur and believe too that many Americans are unaware of the basic facts concerning the region and recognize the value and necessity of this activist watchdog group. Terrorist organizations like Hamas & Hezbollah agenda is to eliminate and destroy the state of Israel and impose Islamic law in place of western values, freedom and democracy. These organizations continue to raise and expend significant funds in their worldwide public relations campaign designed to distort and neutralize their extreme (anti-christian, anti-jew, anti-gay, anti-woman) agenda, which has well documented support and funding from Iranian and Syrian governments. Their intolerance for all that does not fit their radical muslim agenda poses a threat for civilization. These are not organizations that anyone can hope to bargain or reason with. Like the Nazi movement that led to the Holocaust, these organizations MUST be destroyed by any means necessary or at least placed in the scrap bin of history. A beginning is to inform, educate, enlighten and empower existing and future generations with the information necessary to dispel the myths that Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad assist in creating in the media, with the assistance of American and foreign public relations firms. In addition to Fuel For Truth, a good starting point for the "truth is to check out the web site of Daniel Pipes.

TAMBCD program earns U.S. News and World Report recognition
The Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry has been named as one of U.S. News and World Report's best graduate programs in biological sciences.
Ranked 115 by the report, the program tied with Northeastern University, Temple University and University of Texas at San Antonio for the spot.
"This ranking of our biomedical sciences graduate program is just confirmation of what we have known for a long time: It is an exceptional craniofacial education/research program," said Dr. Larry Bellinger, associate dean of research and graduate studies at TAMBCD. "I am thankful that the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and the college have provided the financial support to help make this possible, and I am appreciative of all of the efforts of our faculty, students and alumni."
The graduate program encompasses a number of college departments including the Department of Biomedical Sciences, which is one of the few "stand-alone" basic science departments in the country located solely within a dental school. Its faculty teach gross anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, general and oral histology, microbiology, neuroscience and pharmacology to the dental students, dental hygiene students and graduate students. Besides teaching, the faculty engage in research in several areas having to do with a general focus on craniofacial biology. The Department is especially well known for its excellence in the area of mineralized tissue research.
"We've assembles a growing cadre of very bright researchers," said Dr. Lawrence Wolinsky, TAMBCD dean. "I am proud of the work the graduate program has done and continues to do as we grow our basic science and translational research programs."
The TAMBCD Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences is part of the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Graduate Studies."

AT&T has relaxed its policy of throttling customers with grandfathered, unlimited data plans and now will not begin doing so for its 3G customers until they use 3 gigabytes of data.
Previously, AT&T had said that customers still using its unlimited data plan would be slowed when they fell into the category of the top 5 percent of data users. However, AT&T would not reveal exactly how much data that involved.
Some customers reported that they were throttled when they reached 2.1 GB in a monthly billing cycle. Some recent reports placed it at an even 2 GB. AT&T had said the amount changed monthly and varied by market.
Grandfathered unlimited customers pay $30 a month, the same amount as those who opt for the carrier's 3-GB data package. That meant that unlimited customers were getting poorer service than tiered customers, but paying the same amount.
In the statement, AT&T outlined how the new policy will work:
· Customers with a 3G or 4G smartphone – who also still have our unlimited data plan – will see speeds reduced if they use 3GB (gigabytes) of data or more in a billing cycle. Speeds will return to normal at the start of the next billing cycle. For context, less than 5 percent of smartphone customers use more than 3GB per month.
· For customers with a 4G LTE smartphone – who also still have our unlimited data plan – data speeds will be reduced if usage is 5GB (gigabytes) or more in a billing cycle. Speeds will return to normal at the start of the next billing cycle.
The company has set up a website that provides more detail.
The change comes after an AT&T customer in California sued the carrier in small claims court and won. The judge in the case ruled the company's policy wasn't fair.
The move to raise the throttling level to 3 GB is similar to a suggestion I made in this blog post, and largely addresses this fairness issue with regard to the amount unlimited and 3-GB subscribers pay.
However, those who breach the 3-GB wall will still find their usage throttled dramatically. In its statement, AT&T says throttled customers "will still be able to email and surf the web, and continue to use an unlimited amount of data each month".
Throttled users say their connections are agonizingly slow. They may still have unlimited data use, but it's not very useful.

Gloss walnut, checkered grip, Schnabel forearm, polished blued barrel & aluminum receiver, detachable magazine, iron sights, tapped for standard scope, lever-action.
Timeless beauty that's more than skin deep. The BLR Lightweight with Pistol Grip is ready and waiting to be your next lever-action hunting rifle. The gloss finish on the Walnut pistol grip stock contrasts beautifully with the deeply polished blue finish on the receiver and the barrel. The detachable box magazine allows it to be chambered for modern hunting calibers and it's tapped for scope mounts to take full advantage of its range and accuracy. This is what a serious lever-action rifle should be, and what every other lever-action wishes it was.
Attention to detail. The barrel's standard sights include a Low-Profile adjustable square notch rear sight and a high-visibility front blade with gold bead fitted on a raised ramp-style base. The pistol grip BLR stock is contoured for maximum comfort and the flared Schnabel fore-end tip adds a classic touch of style. The BLR's stock has a deep, glossy finish that brings out every nuance of the wood's warm color and grain. The well-formed recoil pad helps reduce felt recoil and flinching. Steel sling swivel studs are pre-installed for easy mounting of your sling or bipod.

The training and roles of service dogs will be the focus of the keynote event of the 25th annual Disability Awareness Week at Hope College.
The keynote session "6 Legs Are Better Than 2!" will be presented on Wednesday, April 11, at 7 p.m. in room 1019 of the A. Paul Schaap Science Center.
The public is invited to the event as well as all of the Disability Awareness Week presentations during the week of April 9. Admission is free.
The keynote presentation will be led by Lynn Owen Kraker of Hudsonville, who will reflect on her experiences using a service dog and address the stages of preparation it takes a puppy to become a working dog. Kraker, who will be accompanied by her Paws With a Cause service dog, Caddy, is a 1978 Hope graduate who holds a master's degree in counseling from Western Michigan University. The event will also include a variety of other handlers/owners and their dog guides, service dogs and therapy dogs.
Disability Awareness Week will begin in the morning on Monday, April 9, with a wheelchair challenge that will have invited members of the college's student body, faculty and staff undergo a mobility impairment simulation for six, 12 or 24 hours.
On Tuesday, April 10, visitors will be able to simulate a variety of disabilities, including mobility impairment, hearing impairment, vision impairment and learning disabilities, as well as have an opportunity to gather information about a number of hidden disabilities. The simulations will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the main-floor lounge of the DeWitt Center.
On Tuesday, April 10, at 7 p.m., the college's Counseling Center will present "Coping with ADHD" in the Fried/Hemenway Auditorium of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication. The hour-long workshop will focus on techniques and ideas for managing ADHD in college as a supplement to medication or for those who are not taking medication.
On Tuesday, April 10, at 9 p.m., a descriptive video version of the film "The Help" will be shown in the main-floor lounge of the DeWitt Center. The video, designed for audiences with vision impairments, includes audio description of action on screen. Those who attend will be entered into a drawing to win a Hope College sweatshirt blanket.
On Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m., the college's Silent Praise student organization will sponsor "It's Dark Out—I Can't Hear You" in room 159 of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication. The hands-on workshop is designed to build understanding of the world of the hard-of-hearing and those living with central auditory processing disorder, and will include information about the invisible disabilities and ways to better interact with those living with the challenges, and an opportunity for questions.
On Thursday, April 12, at 9 p.m., a descriptive video version of the film "Despicable Me" will be shown in the main-floor lounge of the DeWitt Center. As with the film presentation on Tuesday, those who attend will be entered into a drawing to win a Hope College sweatshirt blanket.
The week will close with an ice cream social on Friday, April 13, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the DeWitt Center Kletz.
The DeWitt Center is located at 141 E. 12th St., on Columbia Avenue at 12th Street. The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication is located at 257 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 10th Street. The A. Paul Schaap Science Center is located at 35 E. 12th St., at 12th Street and College Avenue.
