A while back I posted about all of the trouble I was having with a used .54 caliber Renegade I picked up and how I eventually gave in and bartered for a 32" Green Mountain Barrel 1-70" twist. Well all I have to say is WOW! This barrel is phenomenal. Sunday I was consistently drilling the vitals on a cardboard deer target from 125 yards shooting from a kneeling posistion. I was also able to hit a 2 liter pop bottle 4 out of 5 times at that distance. This barrel has pretty much made my Renegade a "point and click" rifle. Only seven months to go until deer season. Cant wait!

I have several Green Mountain Barrels for my Renegades. All of them are great shooters to say the least.
My .58 caliber 1-70 twist is exceptional in the accuracy department. Also I have a .50 caliber 1-70 twist for one of my Hawkins rifles and that has really amazed me with it's over all accuracy.
I have a .62 caliber smoothbore for the Renegade and while it will hold good groups from 40 yards and in with roundball it does well with bird shot as well.
Last I have two barrels in .50 caliber with 1-28 twists which are exceptional shooters for modern projectiles.
Green Mountain has sure made the Renegade a do anything kind of rifle for me...

I had another person ask me the same thing. What did you do with all the original barrels. Since I own a number of different Renegades...
I told him I still shoot them from time to time and have tried to make them a speciality barrel. One of the .54 caliber Renegades shoots conicals excellent, so I have really pushed to get the most accuracy out of conicals with that barrel only.. Another is a great roundball shooter, so I mounted peep sights on one Renegade and when I shoot that barrel reset the peep.
It makes for a real interesting collection to say the least.
