Took both the .54 1:70 and the .50 1:28 out this morning. And it was surely a toss up as to which rilfe to take for bear. Both rifles shot very, very good with their respective loads. I settled on the .50 only because the easier loading aspect with the saboted bullet vs the PRB. This may be a plus should I need a follow up shot.
But on another point. Prior to heading out, I swapped the stocks on the barrels because I wanted the .54 on the custom stock that the .50 was on. And the .50 was previously sighted in with the tang peep. When I shot the first ball thru the .54 at the 50 yd target, I was a bit surprised to see the POI was right in the 2" black dot. Another shot was touching the first. This is a tribute to Green Mountain's consistancy in their production. To be able to swap barrels and NOT have to adjust a tang mounted peep sight! WOW was is pretty cool.
