I always thought the best all around barrel for sabots was a 28 inch, 1 in 28 inch twist barrel. I'll be darned if this 24 inch, 1 in 48 inch twist barrel doesn't out shoot all my longer barrels with a faster twist. This Traditions Deerhunter keeps surprising me. That's the second bullet sabot combination that it shot great with. Just in case anyone wasn't aware of it already, this side lock is sporting a scope. It's has a Thompson Center 3x9x40 on it. Unlike the Devil, I'm sure I couldn't shoot that well with open sights at 100 yards.
Another thing that surprised me was how at 50 yards, the point of impact was about 2 1/2 inches above the point of aim. And was even higher, 4 1/2 inches, at 100 yards. I thought that about 2 inches high at 50 yards would have put it just about dead on at 100 yards.
