RE: Newest Acquisition
Nice Looking ML, but how can one person shoot as many guns as you own, I got tired looking at the last photo of your collection. Hope she's a sweet shooter Dave. BP

RE: Newest Acquisition
I really do not have all that many rifles. I am sure there are others on the board that have more rifles then me. I do have a "good selection" but I actually gave away four of them this year to relatives.. So I think I am doing real well. Then there is a .45 caliber GMB I want to get but have not decided on stainless or blue that will go right into this rifle.
I am going to guess the load.. 90 grains of Goex 2f and a moosemilk patched ball. Now we will see how close I am. I will start this out at 25 yards and then move back from there.
Also I have some sabots I want to try. I was told to try 100 grains of powder with them, so this would be a good rifle to try them in as well.

Yoy're right dp - he did say he was going to geet both. He probably already did and he's just hiding them from us.
Dave - I got the 45 barrel for my Renegade and it shoots well. I ended up buying a complete stock from a forum member for a good price. And then ordered the 15/16" .45 cal barrel.
It seems to be a perfectly balanced piece. A bit more front heavy than the .50 cal Hawken, but not a heavy as the Renegade. It just sort of hovers around the bull.Once I get it broken in I'm gonna try some off hand shooting with it. It should do well.

RE: Newest Acquisition
Well to be honest, I have another rifle coming here soon.. and I had to shift places in the gun rack now and move the strictly barrel collection to a different rack to make room for these rifles.. I am just running out of rack space and I hate to store rifles in closets. I like to look at them, handle them, enjoy them, even if I am not firing them. I could spend all day in a gun shop just shouldering rifles... [&o] 12 step program here I come. By the way.. stainless makes me smile, so it will probably be that.
