Does anyone own a traditions Classic pennsylvania rifle that can share what they think in regards to accuracy and performance.I know everyone has an opinion but I'm looking for info from owners that have shot one for a while. I have never been a traditions fan but I really like the look and style of the Pennsylvania rifle. I know that the Pedersoli frontier , cabelas Blue Ridge etc are good shooters but I have an opportunity to get a Traditions and was wondering what other owners think. It is a 50 cal with a 40 1/2 inch barrel. Overall lenghth I think is 57 inches . They say it is most accurate with 50 - 75 grains but it is rated at a max of 110. I usually shoot around a 100 on most of my traditional guns, so it will handle enough powder to deer hunt with.
