Which one should I get????

[slippery50]

OK, I`m already a BP, ML shooter. I don`t hunt anymore, but I do punch a lot of paper from 25 yds. out to 100 yds. I`m interested in getting one of these rifles. They are both Pedersoli`s, they are both in like new condition, both same $$ within $25, & both 50 cal. perc. One is a Kentucky & the other is a Frontier. Which one would you guys & girl choose & why? Thanks in advance.

 

[awebbersr]

I would get the Kentucky just cause I think they look better. The Frontier would be quicker and easier cleaning. :v

I would get the cheaper of the two and buy my wife a nice lunch somewhere with the savings. :slap:

Wrong answers so far, "men"!

A REAL man would say BOTH of course. Jeez! Arrghhh...

I own those guns myself. The Frontier is a double set trigger, longer, and more front-heavy but manageable robust rifle. The Kentucky is a sweet, shorter, nicely balanced and, as has been said, different looking gun.

Yeah -- if they were a bargain or could be had as such I'd buy both although...

...if the Cabela's Pedersoli Kentucky sans patchbox is a double set trigger I might consider that instead if the patchbox didn't sweep me off my feet.

Both 50's eh? If ya like that (and should) and caplocks (a little modern for me in sporting arms usually), yeah, offer 150% of the more expensive one for both. Eventually you'll need (OK, want) both ANYWAY -- get it over with, and well, now!

:wink:

 

[azmntman]

Alden is correct you should of course get both while they are available used....., (wife should buy lunch for saving money buying used.....right?)

 

[stinkyfeet]

I got 2 frontiers 45, and 36 cal and still need a few more in the other calibers, 32, 50, and 54. Ohh I vote for the Frontier.

Frontier. :wink: But would buy both if it was a good deal. Larry

Lunch? Buy one for you and one for the Mrs. She'll be thrilled! :shocked2:

 

[azmntman]

I got her a baby dragoon! She was less than thrilled , But I like it. Seems to have never been fired and cylinder and bore lines up perfectly. I gots to be REAL careful with that trick, believe she's catching on

I actually just bought a Pedersoli flint Kentucky in .50. I really liked the way it handled. still waiting for licensing paperwork before I can pick it up. Maybe that is your answer. Pick them both up and close your eyes. Which one feels right? At the end of the day they'll do the same job so follow your heart and don't overthink it?

Show her "Last Of The Mohicans" and then remark about how Madeline Stowe did it just fine...it'll either work or we'll take up a collection for your divorce! :wink: :haha:

Buy both then move back in the doghouse cuz we all know you been there before

I'd get the Kentucky based on looks alone.
