Here are a couple of pics of the Renegade I just picked up. I had a brief opportunity to shoot it yesterday.






Having no idea where it may hit, I put the target out at 30 yds. I loaded 60gr. of FFF black with a Lee .530 ball and a .015 patch rubbed with Ox-Yoke Wonderlube. Taking point of aim on the bull, my first shot was extremely high, almost missing the backboard completely. I cranked the rear sight to the bottom and fired the second shot which was out of the paper at 1:00. My third shot was inside the paper at about 2:00 and a little more to the right (I had a hangfire for some reason which may have caused me to pull the shot).

I adjusted the windage prior to my fourth shot and it hit dead nuts center at the edge of the paper. I wiped the bore clean with some Butch's Bore Shine and decided to take P.O.A. at the bottom of the 7 ring. My last two shots are touching one another in the bull. I then had to call it quits because the supper bell rang.



I cannot understand why a rifle that is in nearly new condition would have to have its rear sight bottomed out, but I have seen it happen with others. I have never cared for the Patridge style sights that are on the rifle. I hold the front blade flush with the top of the rear notch so that I keep the same sight picture every time. I'll probably change out the sights as I feel this rifle has a lot of potential. The rifling is really nice in this gun and the loads were relatively tight going down. I also want to see how it likes the taste of different powders and loads as well as conicals next time out.
