    Absolute newbie, wondering which rifle to start out with?

    Just to add to the crowd. I'm a recent owner of the Lyman GPR in .54 cal. One nice feature of it, and other long heavy barrel smokepoles, is the way it settles right down when you're shootin' offhand. I was amazed the first time I hoisted it how rock steady it becomes. Recoil, at least with...

    Best Price On New Lyman GPR

    Good move. Got my .54 GPR from Mid-South a few months back. Mighty fine shootin' iron. Rock steady offhand. Had a .50 T/C Hawken many years ago but sold it. GPR is gettin' me started back in the game. Hope you enjoy it long and well. John

    GPR and Midsouth 1st impressions

    GPR in .54 from Midsouth arrived today. Came in factory box well packed in heavier duty box without a scratch. When I got it assembled and hoisted it I could readily see what others meant about steady hold. The weight distribution seems ideal to provide the best offhand hold. I will try to...

    2nd try

    Hi all...posted earlier but fumbled the ball...got double post so deleted one...the other one went private somehow...happy to find this place and, thanks to comments in various posts, ordered a Lyman GPR in .54. Had a T/C Hawken many years ago that I made from kit. Always regretted parting...
