Does anyone know if they are still being made? Or are they discontinued? Were there any problems with them? I never see them in the catalog's anymore. does anyone know what bullet + grain has the best grouping @ 100yds using 2/50 grain pyrodex pellets? Thanks in advance for any replies.
I have a Lightning Lightweight my hunting buddy gave me - it wasn't snooty enough for him. He bought an Austin & Halleck. Big, heavy clunker IMO!!
I've had
LESS TROUBLE (actually, no trouble at all!!!) with the Traditions than he has had with his Austin & Halleck. At first he couldn't even get his A&H to fire. He had to send it back for repair-they had "adjusted the striker too short", and it wasn't hitting the caps reliably! The Lightning also has a pretty slick adjustable trigger (if you can adjust a REM. 700 trigger, you can adjust this one safely.)
I don't know if they are still making them or not.(
NOPE-THEIR SITE SHOWS SOMETHING THEY CALL A "THUNDER" BOLT ACTION, From the pictures, I can't tell if the action is the same as the Lightnings were....)I've had very good accuracy results with mine with the 295-grain PowerBelt, and the 400-grain White both in front of 90 grains of Pyrodex P. Both loads very accurate, and the 400-grainer makesa good elk load.... Here's the 400 White......
