Kibler Colonial vs Woodsrunner

[RocketMan58]

Stay strong my friend. I envy your confidence…unfortunately, for me, when it comes to Kiblers…I lack the willpower.

Don't envy me yet, I may just still be in the denial phase. My only hole is that I have other , longer standing addictions such as fly fishing, paddling, biking etc that traditionally gobble up my free time during good weather months. Most years, my addictions just change flavors ;-)

I live seasonally as well…

Have you checked the local blood banks yet, see what they give for a pint?

Yes…if there were 3 of me, I might almost be able to pull it off.

Funny I've put together four Kiblers for friends. Still don't own one or bought one. I'm stuck on making my guns from scratch. BUT I do like the Woodsrunner that gun just has a balance to it. Talk about point and shoot..!! Wow..!

A couple years ago, I built an SMR in .40 calibre, that was my intro to Kibler Kits.

In October, I spent 6 weeks trying to decide between the WoodsRunner and the English Fowler. I finally went with the Fowler. I decided to get the WoodsRunner next…

Then I heard that Kibler was going to do a limited run on the SMR in .32 calibre. Again, I agonized on whether to get the WoodsRunner or another SMR.

Just got my .32 calibre SMR in the mail yesterday. The wood is beautiful.

I swear, I promise to myself…the next Kibler I get will be the WoodsRunner, in .54 calibre…after that, the Colonial; followed by the Hawken.

Nice gun Rock. Have you shot the Fowler yet?

Not yet…haven’t had time to hit the range. I re-upped my membership. It’s easier shooting with other Blackpowder Shooters when I hit the range with a smokepole

I think I only made one trip down there last year. Spent most of my time shooting other stuff. But Im still a member

Nice…let’s do something when you are back. Hopefully by then I’ll have a WoodsRunner to work on.

These Kibler Kits are a bad influence.

Yeah, they're the gateway drug to rifle building.

There is no known cure.
