Flint holder question.

[PitchyPine]

PitchyPine,

A friend bought a Cabela's Blue Ridge and found that the stock was splintered on the forend. He called Cabelas the next day and they told him to send it back. In a couple days his new rifle showed up. GW

I did call Cabela`s and they said they would gladly refund my money or replace the gun, no complaints with Cabela`s from me.
It`s just the way the lock was made and i`m sure after i nag enough and try some different flints i will be a happy camper.
Wait till i drop my first deer with it then you`ll hear some paise. :thumbsup:

Pedersoli makes the Blue Ridge as well as the Frontier rifle which you can get with extra fancy wood. But they are expensive. Cost more than a semi custom rifle from TVM, Early Rustic Arms or some other builders.

Thanks Rebel, they have some nice looking guns at a fair price. :thumbsup:
Thanks Paul for helping me set up my lock properly this morn and everyone else for their help. Shot today and it worked flawlessly with the new properly adjusted flint. :thumbsup:
Now i just need to tighten up my groups some.

Hello Pitchy,
You picked an excellent rifle. After toting a Great Plains around, the Blue Ridge was pure pleasure. Mine is in .45 cal. I didn't like the front sight, because it was too thick for me. I replaced it with a tall Ted Cash German Silver front sight blade from Dixie. This is much thinner and gives a good sight picture. I shot in several Mountain Man matches with it and did pretty well. It's still my favorite rifle to take to the field. It's never let me down.

The more i shoot it the more i like it, great looking rifle imo.
Yepper that front sight is a little wide, nice clear sight pic other than that. My eyes are getting bad with objects a foot or closer so that rear sight placed far down the barrel works out well for me.
Good shooten. :thumbsup:
