I read an article on them years ago...I'll see if I can find anything on it at the house...think a special run of a limited number were made years ago...

they did make a limited run of target rifles about that time in 50. that may be it. that twist sounds like a target twist..

Yes, that's what I recall...sort of a Renegade stock with a nose cap and fast twist barrel...I don't know how .50cal RBs would do in a 1:34...maybe it was made with conicals in mind, dunno...evidently they never caught on.

Guess if I wanted a Renegade style rifle, I'd probably just get a used Renegade stock and then a TC 1:66" round ball barrel

(PS: The Frizzen is missing off the one in the photo)

Not picking on anyone or anything but I've wondered about this a long time now about the words "Express Rifle" I belived and have read these sometimes (mostly as not) twin barrels, Britsh, 451 on up and best of all they are a slim high power rifle with a weight of about 6 pounds. Just cking on this , does it now cover just any rifle or...? Thanks bunch, FRED :hatsoff:

Hi Roundball,
I agree, I have a Renegade with a roundball barrel. :grin: I think you'll agree that the stock in the photo ain't no Renegade stock though...

but, i do like a fast twist for low velocity target loads..

Agree...but it does remind me of one...add a nose cap and more pronounced pistol grip to a Renegade stock and thats about it...it might be worth getting just for the stock...see how that larger pistol grip works out...put a GM .54/.28ga or .62/.20ga Flint smoothbore barrel on it and it would probably make a good bird gun, turkey gun.
Did it mention if it's a 15/16" or 1" barrel?

I use to own one and the stock is nothing like the Renegades. I will try to post some pics of it.
