I am looking into purchasing a flintlock for the first time. I am a lefty and know that I am limited to the rifles I can buy. I am looking at the Lyman line of guns. The3 available are the:
Great Plains Rifle .50 cal
32" barrel
1 in 60" twist
Great Plains Hunter .50 cal
? barrel length
1 in 32" twist
Deerstalker .50 cal
24" barrel
1 in 48" twist
Why the difference in the length of the barrels? What kind of twist do I need toshoot sabots? The Deerstalker is about 100 dollars cheaper than the other 2, but I'd rather spend the extra if it is going to perform better.
Is there any other southpaw manufacturers out there?
Any info and opinions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Get one with a Double trigger, more accurate. I shoot Sabots in my TC 1:48 twist FL, but I have sighted it in only at 50 yards. I just bought a Green Mountain 1:28 twist barrel. I shoot Crushed rib sabot and speer Gold Dot 300g with 80g of Goex, good accuracy at 50 yards, open sights.
