So, based on my limited experience, I've settled on 1:48 twist rifle. My thinking is that since this is my first rifle, I should get something that can shoot round ball as well as other types of ammo.
My son has a Hawken rifle in .50 with double set triggers 1:48. We've been shooting it a good bit and learning as we go.
My question is, who makes the better locks and triggers? I'm looking for a factory built gun in the $400 - $800 range.
Also, I'm looking to modify this rifle for a ghost ring to replace the rear blade. I've seen some Pedersoli rifles with this sighting arrangement that aren't dedicated target rifles but they are 1/24 twist here> Pedersoli Hawken
So is it really a big deal to fit a peep sight to these traditional looking but shorter hunting rifles? Or should I buy something like the Pedersoli and give it a go with some patched ball?
Thanks,
Paul
