I have a 50 cal that is also about 25 years old.
It has the silver furniture and it has the faster twist barrel. It has proven time to be reliable and not problems.

I was lucky, that there was a stocking dealer where I lived and he let me go through all the rifles to choose the one that I wanted. It has really nice wood.

The Tryon is last rifle I would part with.

Good gun. I bought one at a garage sale for $20 and did a bit of work on it. It won me my first medal.

Thanks for the info. I have a chance of buying one for $395 and I know new ones cost more then that. Its a newer one with the 1-65 twist.
