Recently Chetmarks and I split the purchase of a TC Renegade from Bronko - Chet bought the barrel and I bought the stock. Bronko did right by me. The stock and lock are great and I'm well satisfied.

Then Sabotloader and I swapped a couple of barrels. I sent him a .50 caliber 15/16" GM LRH barrel and he sent me a .50 caliber 1" GM LRH barrel.

Today I married up Bronko's stock and Sabotloader's barrel and hit the range. I think Sabotloader screwed me on that deal. That barrel didn't shoot for squat. Of course, I've only tried one load in it so far - 85 grains of GOEX FFFg under a 300 grain Gold Dot. Maybe with a little load experimentation I can find something it will shoot decently.

Here's the first target I shot with it. Do you think I may be able to talk Sabotloader into taking the barrel back???

I'm pretty sure that low shot at 100 yards is Sabotloader's fault.


So the Sinful Renegade now has a sister (yep, I mounted a 4X Simmons ProDiamond on the new barrel).

After shooting that first target I got tired of walking up and down the range, so I put another target out at 50 yards and took four shots. Shot #3 is out of group because the set trigger on Bronko's stock takes a very very light touch, and I touched it before I should have. So I'm pretty sure that low shot is Bronko's fault.





Thanks Sabotloader!!!

Thanks Bronko, Thanks Chet.
