I picked up a .50 Renegade. It's the version with set triggers. I cleaned it up real good, & lubed everything. A little bit of cold blue & a dab of linseed oil made it look 100% better. I am going to replace the fiberglass rammer with a hickory rammer. I have the blanks, I just need to get a 10-32 tip. It also needs a new nipple. The old one is flared a little. This is the first .50 Renegade I've owned. I'll probably refinish the stock if it shoots good.

Should be a good shooter. :thumbsup:
I picked up a "basket case" .50 Renegade a few years ago which cleaned up pretty good. It has a T/C peep on it. I stripped the chipped up finish and refinished the stock with a Tung oil /mineral Spirits mixture. Came out pretty good, I think.
Mine likes .490 balls, .015 patches with 70-75 grs. 3F Goex.
Have fun with yours.

I have plenty of .490 balls & ticking. I recently picked up some 350 grain T/C Maxi-Hunters on clearance at Walmart for $5.00 a box. I thought I might give them a try too.
Powder inventory looks like 777, Pyrodex RS, 2F & 3F Goex. I prefer real blackpowder but the other stuff was dirt cheap at Walmart. I use all of it in my modern muzzleloaders.

Mark- Unless the bore has been abused, i think you'll be more than pleased with the patterns if you're willing to work up the load/patch/ball combination which works best in this individual gun. I've been meaning to refinish my Renegade for more years than I care to admit, but never got to it (yet).
Nice rifle- make good smoke!

I have one with both .50 and .54 barrels...the kind with the single trigger. I just bought a dbl set trigger stock and have a .54 RB barrel in the mail.
Bottom line I am REALLY a fan of this gun.

Nice lil rifle,I had one in 54 cal,that thing shot great !
I have one that is close to 30 years old now and it shoots great and I have never once been sorry I got it.
Since I got it I have picked up a 2 Seneca's and 2 cherokee's and a hawken all TC and am always looking for more.
It took me almost 30 years to find my second seneca and cherokee and they just kind of fell in my lap as I wanted the seneca and my dealer had a cherokee that he wanted to move so I got both for what one is normally going for last year.

Nice looking rifle Mark. What type of front sight is on it. It doesn't look like the patridge style that most Renegade's came with.

I've got a bead type front sight off of a T/C Hawken if you care to swap.
