Getting used to Baker Rifle

[Mike]

Went to the range for a 2nd time. Fired at 25 meters with 65 grains 3F with a .595 ball and .10 lubed patch.
Patch really made a difference in accuracy. 5 shot pattern. I will continue to experiment with powder, ball and patches (and still getting used to the delay in firing.)
The funny thing is I also brought my HK91 and didn't have nearly the success with a new scope...

That is one rifle I want to put together one day. That is a really nice group they are so tight that the two one the left are almost on top of one another.

Is that a smoothbore baker? Ask because I’ve seen them offered

How long did it take to get the kit and how easy was it to assemble? Also what cal is their Baker I assume it is .62 cal.

 

[Mike]

About a year to get the kit, and another year for the gunsmith to assemble it. It is .62 cal.

Of course, that depends on the backlog the selected gunsmith has before he can work on your rifle. After all, he can't start work unless all the parts are available for assembly.
