Me too. Mine outshoots every sidelock I have and I like the option of 1:32 or 1:60 barrels. I have both but hunt mainly with the GPH and a 425 gr conical In 54 cal

I only have one sidelock and that is my Lyman GPR so that's my favorite.

I've owned everyone of the polled manufacturer's guns at one time or another. I voted Pedersoli as I've got rid of all the others, but I never forsee getting read of my Pedersoli.

That really was a hard choice because while the Lyman are great shooters, the T/C with the Green Mountain barrels are just deadly. But I looked at it as a factory sidelock. So I went with Lyman, but rolled over T/C a number of times in the process.

I did exactly the same as Cayugad. I love my TC's with Green Mountain barrels. But for a straight production model sidelock it's Lyman all the way.
