    Loading down for a .62 flinter

    I have a beautiful .62 flintlock built by Steve Zihn. The object was elk hunting, and it has been in the woods with me but has not made meat. I also have a shoulder that got a pretty extensive rebuild in November (just hooking things back up, no implant). The combination of a hunting load in...

    CLOSED WTB Peep Sight for TC Hawken

    Looking for a TC peep sight for the Hawken. I guess that means I need the front sight, too. Please let me know if you have something you'd be willing to part with. David NM

    CLOSED .45 Pedersoli Long Rifle - Thread closed

    This is a rifle built from a kit in the mid-1980's. At the beginning of the lockdown circus, I decided to de-farb the rifle a bit and see how it turned out. It turned out pretty good!

    Browning Mtn Rifle

    Does anyone have any experience with the Browning Mtn Rifle (Hawken)? I have admired them for years, and one is for sale in a local gun shop, tempting me. Would appreciate your opinion. BTW, rifle is in pristine condition, but no knowledge of how many rounds, etc.

    Elk Hunt Caliber

    Asking the opinion of those been there done that folks. To begin with, I am a 100 max shooter - with my full stock Plains Rifle (.50 caliber Sharon bbl, 36"), my eyes will let me kill a deer at 100 yards. I can estimate distance pretty well, I blame my years as a soccer referee as helping...
