Bought my first BP rifle
a buddy here at work sold me a CVA bobcat he hadn't been using. He sold it to me for $55, which seemed cheap enough to me. It's a 1:48 twist .50 cal, and not near as fancy as the new ones at Bass Pro shops, but a place to start all the same. I have not hunted since the 80's, and that was all BOW hunting, so I'm definately in rookie status for a while
wish me luck!

I've never heard of a Staghorn with a 1-48' twist. Email [email protected] & ask them. Be sure to include your serial numbers on the rifle.

RE: Bought my first BP rifle
Bobcats for the most part are good roundball shooters. Try 80 grains of FFg and a patched .490 roundball. I think you will be pleased with the rifle. Keep your shots under 100 yards or to a distance you're comfortable in shooting too, and you can make venison with that rifle..
Good luck
