58 Big Boar Decent?

[damron]

A guy at our club has one on the "for sale" board for $500(caplock).It has a TC ladder on the back and tall Peep on the front.From the picture it looks like it has been hunted with(a few scratches) but the bore is supposed to be good.Are they 1-48 twist? Is it worth the $500 price and are they good shooters in general? With the short barrel it looks light and i would imagine recoil with conicals pretty brutal.

The TC ladder rear sight and front sight set are kind of hard to find. I'd guess you could sell it for $100 plus. On E bay, the sights may go for $200 plus. I believe the Big Boar has a 1-48 twist. The 58 caliber Big Boar is also hard to find.

i'll pick it up then i guess.I was going to order a GM 58 cal 32" barrel but as soon as i decided to finally do it Midway ran out of them.
