I have hunted deer with a fifty and a fifty four, both got the job done. Fifty eight is the magic number though.

Get hold of Matt and toni now because as of yesterday they had a slot opening up soon normally it would take a year to get a gun from them.
Congrats by the way.
:thumbsup:

Thanks for the info, but if I can get it done I am having Roy build me one. Once the papers are signed and the lawyers are through fighting I will know where I stand, so far so good though.

If you're not into waiting, check out the used custom gun lists at The Gun Works. I don't remember the details right off, but when I stopped by there a while back that had several real interesting ones in 58 at moderate prices (i.e., less than $1K).

Track of The Wolf is another place to look. They usually have a selection of custom rifles for sale.
58 is somewhat rare though. 54 is easier to find and frankly for most uses is a better choice.

Being the Proud owner of two Strohs....that is an excellant choice! you won't be sorry!! (keyword RICE) :wink: :thumbsup:

With the thinner dimensions of a southern poorboy, especially the more narrow buttstock, .54 is probably the max I'd go. I have a .54 Tennessee Rifle, love it, but think I would go with a heavier rifle with wider buttstock (maybe a jaeger, English Sporting Rifle, or a Lancaster) in any larger caliber. Just my two cents :wink:

Umm my .58 NE wears a 1 5/8" wide butt plate and is a ***** cat to shoot with a 90gr load. How much thinner is the poor boys?

 

[rabjr]

But I'm sure having a gun properly fitted to you has a lot to do with it.

 

[slowpokebr549]

Truth be told that is something I have worried a little about. But the nice thing about a .58 is that it doesn't need to be loaded heavily to get the job done. I like the looks of a poor boy but it is a consideration.

I went ahead and did it, I divorced my wife of ten years. I sold my cattle to pay her off and be rid of her and HER debts.?

I'll bet your gonna miss the Cattle.

You won't go wrong with Roy. He'll give you your monies worth plus some. Great architecture. Go with the caliber you prefer and I would'nt be too concerned with the recoil from a .58. even on a slimmer gun. :thumbsup:

 

[appaloosabob]

Well I did the divorce thing and I'm still paying a little bit of the debt off but I got her in a corner and got my Boys, the house and farm, but I had to take some debt. But I sold off a bunch of stuff and paid most of that. I am looking for a 38 cal for squirrle. (spelling) Good luck in you gun hunt and shoot it in good health.
