does anybody know of a good 32 or 36 cal. sidehammer. i am looking for a small game rifle.

Traditions makes a Crocket Rifle. And Cabela's sells some of the Blue Ridge models in .36 caliber I believe. The Blue Ridge are Pedersolli.

I have a crockett rifle in .32 that is a good shooter. Cabelas offer the Blueridge in .32, .36, .45, .50, & .54 calibers. It is a longrifle and is offered in flint or percussion. It is made by Pedersoli and is a remake of the old Hatfield longrifle.

I personally like a 32 caliber because I enjoy squirrel hunting and eating. Even with a little .32 I try to make head shots to keep meat destruction to a minimum. With a head shot it will really clean out a squirrel's sinus cavity.

Hunting with a flintlock is more fun than peeing off the back porch.

I have a .32 Traditions also and to me it is a fine rifle for any small game or for getting rid of pests. Not to noisy and a pound of powder goes a long way.
