I appreciate all the replies, gentlemen! :cool: I went so far as to looking into one of the Jim Kibler finished rifles and kits. Nice, very nice, but more than I care to bite off at the moment. I live about 2.5 hours from The Log Cabin Shop, in Lodi, Ohio. I'm going to make the trip to see what...

Marinekayak, Where or from what vendor did you purchase your Blue Ridge rifle? I'm in N.W. Ohio and both the Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas here, have not seen a Pedersoli rifle in 7+ years. Cabelas said they can't order them any more, since Bass Pro purchased them. Bass Pro recommended contacting...

MGA, I don't mind, at all. I'm going to an archery shoot tomorrow, near Dundee, Michigan and will be stopping there to play 20 questions with someone, IN PERSON, about the Pedersoli Blue Ridge rifle. Bowhunter57

Thanks and I already have made the call. There are none in stock and they have to be special ordered (prepaid), to get one. :rolleyes: I don't think it has anything to do with C-19, rather a lack of stock due to a lack of interest with all of the inline MLs taking over. Bowhunter57

I have yet to physically handle a Pedersoli Blue Ridge flintlock rifle, but plan on making the trip to Cabela's, to do so, soon. I like the looks, lines and haven't heard/read anything about the rifle that would dissuade me from purchasing one. I have handled similar rifles, like the Tennessee...

Mike OTDP, I will do that and who shall I tell is saying "hello"? Your info doesn't say where you're from, etc. I'm in Lima, just south of Bluffton. I've shot with Kim at Ft. McCarther (near Williams Town), Hog Creek Game Club (near Ada) and several other 3-D archery competitions around the...

Mike OTDP, I stand corrected, sir. I'll have to ask, the next time I see Kim Best, what organization that he was shooting with in Holland, Hawaii and Austrailia. He shoots in Friendship, Indiana, on a regular basis, so perhaps it was something to do with the NMLRA (muzzleloading version of the...

I have a question for Russ T. Frizzen, PRM, Forgetful Jones and mykeal: Have you guys noticed any "frame stretch" or loss of accuracy due to the lack of a top strap or closed frame? My reason for asking is that many of the BP revolver shooters that I've talked to in my area are telling me that...

Yes, there is and a hunting buddy of mine is into it. He's been to Switzerland, Hawaii and Austrailia...that I know of and there are many other national events that he's in as a regular competitor. Good hunting, Bowhunter57

Mykeal, I've given some thought to purchasing a 3rd model Dragoon, but I don't know how much power I'd be giving up or if I need it. I'd definately be using this revolver for hunting varmints. The groundhogs would love me. :haha: How much of a power and/or powder difference is there between...

You guys are killing me! :surrender: I've been reading all these posts on Walkers and have got the fever....bad. I considered a Remy, a Dragoon, but thought...naaa, I might as well go all the way and get the big boy. I probably won't be able to afford one until next year. Meanwhile, I guess...

rubincam, Do you mean Colts or Colt replicas? I ask because I've seen Uberti (Colt replicas) with a rear "v" notch at the back of the barrel and a front bead, BUT those were cartridge revovlers. www.uberti.com/firearms/army_navy_conversion_and_open_top.php Sights on the rear of a Walker would...

Thank you, for the replies, gentlemen! :) I agree that the Ruger would be an excellent choice and I used to own one...several years ago. It was more accurate than my 1860 Army, but it was an unknown "cheaper" brand of revolver. I'm not recoil sensitive or concerned about the carry weight of...

I'm considering the purchase of a BP revolver for hunting varmints. I like the open framed revovlers, but wonder if they're as accurate as the closed frame revolvers. Namely, the Walker has always intrigued me. However, accuracy is the name of the game, for hunting purposes and the closed frame...

Thank you, to all that replied! For the above reasons, I will not be using Power Belts. I'm after accuracy and the simplicity of loading for hunting purposes. I certainly didn't expect to raise so much controversy over modern vs. traditional projectiles. I'll ask these questions on another...

Which bullet tip type is best for deer sized game animals? Power Belt bullets offer a pure lead series with a hollow point. Also, a copper jacketed series with an Aerotip. I'm familar with Ballistic Tip and V-Max bullets for varmint caliber rifles. This is what makes me curious about the...

Motion decoys work especially well for coyotes, due to their ability to hold the coyote's attention long enough to get a good shot. Also, the motion confirms the distress call to the coyote(s), as it approaches. Calling without a decoy can spook a coyote. It would be like hearing someone...

Thank you, to all that have replied! All the information is good and I'm definately leaning toward the Poor Boy. I used to own a T/C Penn. Hunter and it was a very accurate RB rifle. I shot 2 deer and several groundhogs with this rifle. A good friend of mine has a .54 cal. flintlock Poor Boy...

I'm considering building or buying a finished rifle for hunting deer and varmints. Either a Tennessee Poor Boy (.50 cal. or .54 cal.) or a Springfield 1861 (.58 cal.). I'm interested in the range and accuracy differences between these two rifles. Your opinions and experiences are appreicated...
