Nice, whats your first thoughts? It's not a T/C is it.. :thumbsup:

Roundball, That is one sweet rifle.I remember awhile back you were trying to decide what type of Rifle to have built. You made the right choice.
Gotta love those Early VA's. I have two and would love to have another one.

"...whats your first thoughts?..."

Very pretty wood...and it seems light...I have to weigh it to see if its lighter or if just the balance is different.
But I have to be honest, its basically a T/C on steroids...I have an very attractive half stock .58cal with brass trim and a 33" barrel...this is just a full stock 38" version.

Very nice rifle :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Do you have some "STILL" photos?

 

[Fishhog]

VERY nice Bill,let us know how she shoots..Ray

Don't tell Matt that. I don't think he'd appreciate that comment. Spend a little time with it, you may feel different about that later.

Very nice rifle :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

When the slide show starts, reach up to the right and click the word slide show...that switches it to full size, then I think in the upper left you can pause a photo...also, down at the bottom I think you can choose speeds

NICE RIFLE!

I love mine and I am sure you will love yours as well. I never had a swamped bbl until I got the Early Virginia. They sure make a good off hand rifle. Love the .58 also.

The stock has a wonderful color!

Take care and try not to shoot ALL the deer!

Hank

 

Beautiful Rifle :thumbsup:

I bought the same one about a year ago, except mine is .50 cal and left handed. Your wood is a bit prettier than mine, but otherwise very similar in appearance. On a good day, I can shoot a cloverleaf at 50 yds. Most accurate front stuffer I have ever owned. Took a while to find the right combination of powder, patch, and lube, but once I did, it shoots better than I can :grin:

Bagged my first black powder deer with it last season.

THANKS, I was able to slow it down.............Hope it shoots as well as it looks :grin: , well worth the wait!

 

[roundball]

FYI...the .58cal Virginia seemed noticably lighter than my 9 lb./2 oz - .58cal half stock Hawken with its 1"x 33" barrel...so I weighed them both just now and the Virginia actually weighs an eyelash more at 9 lb./ 4oz.....must be the 6" longer length spreading it out some

 

[rich pierce]

Outstanding. I guarantee you're going to have a wonderful time with this one.
