I handled one of the Persuits in a store the other day and I was kind of impressed with the way it fit to the shoulder. I also heard they fixed that trigger problem. The spanish barrel really does not scare me off (maybe it should) because I seldom shoot a magnum load out of any of the rifles I own

Your rifle sounds like my CVA Staghorn Magnnum and the way it behaves. I shot some of the 375 Buffalo Bullet SSB sabots out of it the other day with 100 grains of Ptrodex RS (which I think is the most dirty powder on the market to shoot) and the accuracy was very good. You might want to try them in your Persuit. All my inlines like that bullet for some reason.

I can understand your disapppointment. I also had a brand new Tradition's Woodsman Hawkin Sidelock in .50 caliber. Beautiful rifle to look at because it would not go off. I took it and changed out the nipple, cleaned it numerous times, and still it would fire maybe 3 out of 10 trys. I finally called Traditions and talked to their gunsmith. He said he wanted to see the rifle so I mailed it back. They fixed it and it is a sweet shooter now, but when I was showing it off that first day to my friends and it would no go off, well lets say I was more then disappointed.....

That hog hunting is something I have to try this year. I want to use my .54 caliber flintlock to do so...
