When I get to FL I'm going to place my order for a Pedersoli .54 Blue Ridge Flintlock. This flinter has a 1:65 twist. Should be a great RB shooter. I've read a lot of reviews on it and can't find anything bad about them.

Only thing bad you will find about a Pedersoli is the price Dem puppies are rather salty! But they sure are purdy!

While not a flinter, I have one of those (Cabela's Blue Ridge rifle) by Pedersoli in .32 percussion. No frills but elegant in it's own right. Kinda wished I'd opted for a flinter at the time. Back when I bought it I could have had the flinter for under $400.

Hey bronko...

Is that rifle still available in a lefty? Just curious.

BPS

I doubt it. Haven't seen one. Besides a lefty would be harder to resell.

But aren't you a lefty? If so, why re-sell it? Unless you flat out don't like it.

BPS

I had that gun. The only downside is the butt plate is kind of thin. It can be a little hard on recoil. I was fine when target shooting, but a hunting load beat up my shoulder.

Well I couldn't wait until I got to FL. I just placed my order and having it shipped there. As for getting a lefty version I've been shooting RH flinters for about 40 years so I'm used to the flash a couple inches from my nose. I do have a buyer for my Hawken that I had in the classifieds to recupe some of the funds. I just hope he doesn't back out - right B? Then if I sell the Knight I'll be in good shape. That Knight is a real great buy. A nice clean rifle with excellent bore and trigger.

bronko...

Did you buy it from Cabela's? If so, are they shipping it to you from the Hamburg store?

BPS

NO - I'm in FL now and they are shipping it right to the house down here. As for the price, it wasn't much more than a Lyman GPR. Maybe this summer I can come up your way and we can do some shooting. Or we can meet and go to my cabin for a weekend of making white smoke. My cabin is in Clinton Co., 10 miles east of Renovo and about the same distance from Fin,Fur and Feather if you know where that is?
