Thanks alot for that link!!! I saved it to my favorites. 353 dollars is a good deal. October country has it for 544 dollars!!!! I think I would buy it from DNR Sports now.
Do you guys think it might be better to get something like a Cabelas Hawkens and put a GM 1-28" twist barrel on it? I am sure that I could find a good heavy conical that that Lyman will like though.
A Cabelas Hawkins is made by Investarms Inc. Investarms Inc also makes all of the Lyman Rifles. When you purchase a Lyman Rifle you get two manuals. One from Lyman and one from Investarms. Even though they are for the same rifle they differ in the loads they allow for the rifle.
There would be little to no advantage to spend all that money on a Cabela's Hawkins and then turn around and get a Green Mountian IBS barrel. Save your money and purchase a 1" on the flats Green Mountain IBS barrel in 1-28 twist and put that on your Renegade. I have two of those barrels. They are stainless Steel with 1-28 twist. They shoot sabots very well and conicals somewhat well, although I admit I have not tried a lot of conicals in them because of my other conical shooting rifles. These are the same barrels you would find on a Knight Muzzleloader.
