    Caywood's rifles..your thought's

    I bought a caywood trade gun 62 cal last year and love the way it feels and shoots. It was my first smoothbore and after only 3 or 4 shots to figure out the sight picture {without a rear sight} it shot as well as my custom rifles. I liked it so well that I had Danny build me an English game gun...

    Whitworth

    The Whitworth would be a great long range gun! The reason the were never widely used by the military was the very slow rate of fire due to the fact that they are difficult to load after the first shot. Great for snipers though. The Whitworth is on my wish list of ML guns, maybe someday i will...
