The 'itch'.....

Don.

I like the Southern Mountain stile rifles that where build for the fur trades. Iron furniture forged with a hammer and put together with copper or bronze wire riveted. A working mans rifle.

I looked at that Hawken Rick posted. It was listed for a spell and I thought strongly about getting it. It is a fine late model with nice looking wood, but I really want a early full stock with a light barrel in a .54. My 1-1/8" is just getting to heavy for me to hold steady off hand for the local stuffer matches. It will put each ball on top of each other at 50 yards but I cant hold it off hand anymore to get this done anymore. That is why I passed that rifle up. Sitting in a blind that will make a fine freezer filler.
Rick you will find that it will put each ball in the same hole.
