Dropped off the old Renegade finally at Foxridge outfitters. I need to get that lock fixed and upgraded. I tried for months to get it to shoot good but I gave up using it for hunting the way it was. It will be fixed and all the upgrades I assume. I really did try to get it to shoot well with the originol lock set up but no such luck. The people there when I dropped it off really loved the stock on it as do I, some of the best looking wood I have on any gun no matter the price. Let me clarify that probabally the best wood period.
Well even though the repairs are going to be free (good ol' T/C lifetime warrantee) I still left $50 poorer.
I bought 5 packs of Cheapsots for my .54 at $2 a pack (ten cents a round) and a new sheath Knife made by some outfitter out of Alaska that will make a perfect patch knife and all round light duty soft tissue knife.
I don't think I ever visited Foxridge without buying something.
those places are dangerous for me to visit also. Because I usually end up dropping a bundle. Did you notice the price on a new Hawkins .58 caliber Flintlock??

Sorry Cayugad, I only handled one rifle when I was there. $419 to replace my Renegade if I wanted a new one set up close to mine. I saw a few of the Hawkens though and they usually run $450-$500 at Foxridge. Some a tad more.
It is fun seeing the people eyeball that old rifle Made me feel pretty good.
rmc sports is only 30 minutes from me. i go there and drool,ha.boy, they have some real nice guns andyou can walk in back and they will show you how they are made.stocks on some of them are beautiful wood.walls are filled with guns.everytime i go there i buy something.their v-peep sight is best i have used, so far.if you get one, get the GREEN fiber tubes they sell in pack.i cant see red as well as green ones.
