RE: Bull Barrel - Gunlaker - 03-14-2014
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.

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
