I know what you mean. I have a blue/wood Huntsman and like its looks.

I also have the blue/wood Sidekick and would not even think of replacing it with a SS/syn. gun.



This gun has harvested more deer then any other gun in my safe!

I have the same gun. I would recommend shooting that sidekick before returning it.

Well, after working on the sidekick, shooting some conicals, 0000 steel wool, Flitz, I think I got it to shoot pretty good.

I shot the first target, the one on the right, 4-5 days ago and the second one yesterday, no cleaning between, Blackhorn, remington muzzleloader primers, and Bustas, new breech plug design worked great.



One on the right is 300 gr. xtps and the left is the 240 gr. with CR sabots

Only a 1.5 - 4 power scope at 100 yds. maybe with a little experimenting and a 3x9 scope itmight do a little better.

Just a fun little rifle to shoot, I believe it would give my Encore a run for the money in the likeability contest.
