I would like to hear from anyone that has shot this rifle, or knows anything about it. I have an old renegade that has same twist in .54, and am happy with it, but it is not near as accurate as my A&H which is 1/28. I may end up steering them to the knight bighorn which is back out now.
What say you all. Happy day to everyone.
If you are a Washington hunter the NorWest certainly complies with the ruls but golly there are such better rifles out there, unless you might be thinking about shooting round balls.
I believe the Big Horn would be a far better choice than the NW Edition, but even batter than that would be a Knight DISC Extreme with a Western bolt and breech plug installed.
Might look at these threads on the Hunt Washington forum...
