I can not understand why more people do not understand that very simple statement.

To many people believe all that magnum advertising companies do to sale there products...

My Idaho White ( a GM-LRH-SS barrel in a Renegade stock) will do most everything that any then legal Idaho inline will do - maybe even better... but it just doesn't look right...

When I was out shooting last week, shooting a regular renegade, I was joined by to traditional hunters coming off the hill. They were both using traditional flintlocks shooting PRB's. When I complained about the new rules in Idaho - they seemed hurt because the way it is now is the ML hunting is suppose to be. When I said I think things will be reversed next year - they bowed their back a little bit and said"we hope not" I contiued to shoot the Renegade as they watched... and it was one of those days when it was shooting real well... think it impressed them a bit but finally they asked if would like to shoot there flintlocks, they were done hunting and need to shoot the load out anyway... Naturally, since I love to shoot, I jumped all over that chance.... They then walked over to their ATV's and took the rifles out of the racks and I shot them. They shot great... but I wanted to say so bad "I wonder if the traditional fore-fathers had 4 wheelers to get to their traditional hunts" So what is traditional for some things may not be traditional for others...

"Frustrating"

The best ML group I have ever shot was not with my scoped inlines but with my peep sight equipt Lyman GPH 50 with 460 NE conicals, 3 shot group measured .28" at 75 yards. The closest I have come with my scoped rifles is .5" at 100 yards with 348 Powerbelts. Out of the 7 ML'ers I have (3 inlines and 4 sidelocks), I find very little difference in performance when Loaded similarly. I even have usable round ball loads for the inlines. The type of sights on some of the guns has more to do with the grouping capability than the action type. To meit seems they confuse form for function when it comes to inline vs "traditional". I also think the shooter has more to do with the performance than the action type. Just my 2 cents.

Good new, at least it is for me. Just got an email from IDFG, I took my gun in to them 2 weeks ago to show them my pivot hammer modification. They took pictures and forwarded them to the tech commity. The tech commity has ruled that my devise is not what they had in mind when pivot hammer rule was made but went on to say that my devise meets the criteria for an exposed pivoting hammer and thus is legal to use during the traditional muzzleloading season. So I can go hunting now. I'm going to make a copy of the email and have it laminated to carry with my while hunting.:D

goatbrother.. congratulations on the ruling. So are you taking orders in Idaho soon? :D:D:D

Good luck in your muzzleloading season with your traditional inline rifle.
