I’d think an SMR .40 in extra fancy would be a hot seller at a gun show.
I completed a Colonial .58 smooth not long ago. It shot patched balls and bare balls pretty dog gone good.
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks that's what I'm looking for.
I appreciate the reply.

Don't know about the other folks but for me it would be the Woodsrunner cal. 54.
I’m holding out for a Woodsrunner in .54. Not interested in the fowler- I just don’t like that barrel profile.

70 Cal.
SMR: 40 cal For an all around target and competition gun.
Colonial: 58 rifled elk thumper (however, I'm filling this slot with a different 58 that will be about 2# lighter)
Woodsrunner: 54 cause elk thumper.
Fowler: 16 ga for small game and birds including turkey. No interest in shooting balls out of a smooth bore (of all these stated choices, this is the one I'm near sure to buy)
Thanks Cruiser.
Appreciate the reply.
Thanks for the input Jay

36 Cl.
Usage and needs would be the determining factor for me.
To fill in my gaps I would get:
20 gauge Fowler
32 Cal SMR
50 Cal Woodsrunner

Ive got a Woodsrunner in 50. I keep watching this guy @B P Maniac Shooter Shooter having way to much fun with his smoothie and now I think I need one to play with. So Im thinking about a 20 ga since I would shoot those big round balls out of mine
Thanks BigAl.
He does have alot of fun with his Smoothbores.
Thanks SeaRun, appreciate your response.
Probably the primary factor when it comes to caliber selection. Wouldn't want to go after a Brown Bear with a .22 no matter how purty it was!

Gun Slough not sure where your located. But in April their is the Tennessee Longrifle show in Knoxville. There's always a few SMR and Woodsrunner guns for sale. I don't think Kibler goes to Friendship anymore.?
Besides it's always nice to handle a gun before you buy it.JMPO

Thanks for the reply and info.
I down in Florida.
In January there is a gun show in Alabama. Put on by Calgary Longrifles. Small show but all traditional Longrifles and such. Information is on the American Longrifle site. Check it out..
I have gotten over cancer and chemo and at 76 needed a light rifle so I got the SMR in 45. She is a real peach.
