Now that was a good deal on what should be a nice rifle.

Wow, what a shooter! One hole at 18 yards.( Thats as far as I can shoot at home) 50 gr 777 with patched round ball.

Hey man! Use real BP and not that 777 substitute. Take it and make a skyrocket out of it. :rotf: :thumbsup: Real men shoot BP!

I hate 777, but I have four cans of the stuff, and can't think of a better way to get rid of it!

I have the Hawkens version from Cabelas. I thought the carbine version was also 1:48" twist.

No. They have a 1 in 24". :grin:
