Default Couple new muzzies

First off, I wanted to say, this darn forum wouldnt load for close to 2 weeks! I don't know what the heck the deal was.

Heres a real odd ball i picked up the day before yesterday "14th"

Prarie River Arms Bullpup .50cal 1:48 twist, 28 1/2" barrel, 11oz trigger pull, walnut stock. Just one heck of an odd looking muzzleloader, but one heck of an accurate one! Weighs 8lbs 11oz with the 4x scope on it. I wanted to get it a little cheaper but it was on consignment at the shop and we couldn't get a hold of him and so i said, screw, threw the card on the table and i took her home.

It was very nerve racking to put my face directly on the powder/bullet charge, but after 4 or 5 shots, i settled down and started getting it on paper. No targets yet, i ran out of powder before i could do a 3 shot group. That ALWAYS friggin happens!





Now sit down!

The other muzzy i ordered is the new Traditions Vortek Ultralight .50cal with the 30" barrel. I just really wanted to see how well they've improved over the years and so I was able to get a discount to help me out on it. Got an email and they are processing the order and will have the total price along with tracking number once its ready to ship. So hopefully this one will be a good shooter. I really like the looks of it and plan on shooting a great deal of Thors through it.

We'll see how this one goes and after i try open sights first i will scope it.
