    Scope on traditions deer hunter?

    Hello, I noticed that I have a barrel that has 4 tapped holes in the top where scope rings would go. Wondering if any special mounting supplies would be needed for a scope to work on that rifle. It's the cap lock model. Any ideas will help. Thanks Aaron

    54 deer hunter kit target pics

    well i finally tested the true accurcey of this gun. i was shooting 70 grains of 2f with .15 patch and a homecast ball. i shot off hand at 40 yards. I think that these "lower grade" guns shoot the best after you find a load they like. Im ready for youth season in ohio and deer gun season.
