Yes it is swamped, it balances very nicely too.

Thats a fair price for that rifle.

You can always build one, you’ll probably end up spending as much or more with time/labor, supplies/tools depending on what you have and what you need to buy. they’re very enjoyable to build and Jim kibler makes some amazingly easy to assemble kits that even a dummy like me can put together, and he always provides beautiful wood.

Thank you. Actually this is his fancy maple, a step below his premium grade of fancy maple. Kibler definitely does not disappoint!

 

[Rangefogger]

No longer never fired, I couldn’t resist.

What size ball does Bobby recommend?

What size ball does Bobby recommend?

You’d have to ask Bobby. I’m thinking a .600 ball with .018 patch, but I’m gonna try .595 and .600 with varying patch thicknesses.
