Bull Barrel

[Gunlaker]

tombstone, did you ask Shiloh what the approximate weight would be? My 16lb Bull barreled #3 is not a lot more than 15lbs with a 30" barrel. At least that's what my wife's old postal scale says.

I'm sure you'll love the rifle when it arrives.

Bob & Mike, Thanks--Nice rifle but i am going with Shiloh and a PP only chamber. My 40-70 ss is a C-sharps and a good shooter but the workmanship on my 45-120 Shiloh puts it to shame.

Tim, We all have our favorites. I'll stay with C. Sharps Arms. Mike

Hmm. Maybe my wife's scale need's calibrating. I can't imagine that the extra 4" of barrel on your friends rifle would make it 3 1/2 pounds heavier than mine.

Thanks for the information Dean.

Mike, wasnt kocken C- Sharps. my 40-70 ss is a bad ass gun. It has a 18 twist badger and is my sillywet rifle. It will shoot PP or GG better than I can.
I just have allways wanted a new built to spec Shiloh. Wood I buy another C-Sharps? If it was the right rifle I would in a hartbeat.

Tim, Good doin's on C. Sharps and the Shiloh you have ordered. I have just ordered a C. Sharps Highwall in .40/70 SS so you can give me plenty of pointers for loads. And, we should remember that this is the "Bull Barrel" thread. Mike
