That's gorgeous! Something to be truly proud of.

Very sweet, hope the next pictures are on the range or in the woods, that rifle begs to be taken somewhere.

 

[Critter Getter]

Nice!! Love the color! Congrats on your new rifle! Greg

Looks very nice my friend!👍

Respectfully, Cowboy

That is a truly nice rifle; and I, too, love that stock color. I have a rifle stained that color and have had many good comments on it.

Outstanding! I recently ordered an early Virginia rifle in .54 from TVM with that same color finish. Just 6 more months to go and it'll be in my hands. Thanks for showing us this one, she's a beauty.

Very nice! I keep "himming and hawing" on a rifle from TVM - got my mind on a Southern Basic in .36. They seem to produce a lot of rifles and reviews on service and quality seem consistently good.

Hi Baron,
If you want a southern rifle in 36 cal, check out Jim Kibler's kits before settling on a TVM.

Ditto.

Dave's right. The Kibler Southern Mountain Rifle is outstanding.
The kit is great to build, the architecture is very good (and wonderfully slim), the lock is fast, and they shoot very well.
While Mountain rifles are not my favorite style of gun, my Kibler SMR is so nice to shoot that I cannot resist it. I love it.

Cheers,
Chowmi.

I've got a TVM Southern rifle in .36 and there are no flies on it. An accurate rifle and IMO it's beautiful. I'm not talented enough to finish a kit.

They don't come in a lefty though, do they? I'd be interested otherwise.

I, too, have a TVM SMR in .36. It is a very skinny little dude and feels like a BB gun. But that sucker is evermore accurate. It feels great when shouldered. I will not sell that little guy.

But the Tn style SMR from Jim Kibler is awesome!

I shot the rifle Wednesday. It's very accurate with 60 gr. fffg. It grouped well, windage is fine but was a bit low...needs a couple of strokes on the file on the front sight. The rear sight is fine, I may file the notch a bit deeper to get some more light. I like it a lot. I'll probably go a bit higher on the load. The Siler lock is very fast.

Or give Tip curtis a call..good chance of zero wait.

tell us your plans for this rifle paper or fur?

 

[Gene L]

Paper, mostly. Fur if I ever take a notion to hunt again.
