I'm not sold on big name barrels. The most accurate muzzleloader i have or have ever had is a Pedersoli flintlock, an off the shelf .50. From the bench rested fore and after, groups stay within dime size at 50 yards. I've never fired it at further distance. The downsides are that it has a patent breech and a 1:48 twist. That tiny group is with only 60 grains of 3F. A heavier charge opens the group too much for my liking so it will remain a 60 grain gun. Such is often the trouble with the 1:48s.

What's up with the rear sight on the Rocky Mt. model? Was that a sight that might have been used in the Hawken era. A very good looking rifle, but I've wondered about that sight since they came out.
And do you reckon it has a patent breech?
And do you reckon it has a patent breech?
are you serious? it would be hand lapped, air gauged, tolerances 0.0005-0.0001. I would understand asking that question if you were ten years old

Not nice. Lots of us are ignorant about such things.
Or beginners. Let's all be nice to one another.
I thought he was mocking me

Not a lot. Kibs makes specific types; Peder has lots of military stuff. Kib's genius is in engineering CNC with authenticity, coupled with easy assembly, a winning combination. Not to mention great service, reasonable price for what you get, and continuing innovation, e.g., the carving.

Yeah, mind puts on a little weight, too! I have an old Jack Garner SMR .45 flint that is light as a feather!

I was disappointed that their Lorenz had a non-historically-correct patent breech, as well as a 90-degree fire channel with a hidden and inaccessible cleanout screw, rather than the direct vent channel it had historically.
I wish Pedersoli would stop monkeying with the fire channels and chambers in these muskets!
not sure if he was mocking me but it seemed liked it cause him or another guy was saying what makes it a target rifle
