Really New

[peters_ham]

Well - I bought this old farmhouse (1760) with 17 acres and I was buying some antiques from this couple. Had a rifle too - liked the look.

Next thing you know I am the proud owner of a 1978 Kit Build 50 Cal TC (does not say Hawken on barrel but I suspect it is) that had never been shot without a scratch on her (on the wall for her entire life).

Well I have since taken three shots with her (with inline powder no less)- one dry (long story) and now I am starting to find out how little I know. I am planning on some deer hunting out back with her so starting to figure that out.

Putting a sling on her and want to get a Peep Site I suppose.

Anyways ! Glad to be here and so far I am into it! :shocked2:

Welcome to the gang! You're starting on the right track anyway. Read some of the postings here and if you're not totally bewildered, ask any questions you have...ask even if you're not bewildered! :haha:

Aw, gee Peters. You went and bought a 1760 house on acreage in New England. If we ask real nice, can we see some pictures of said house?
The only thing vaguely European in Oregon in 1760 was a scattering of trade iron and venereal disease among coastal tribes ...

Welcome! :hatsoff:

Welcome!

Can't be many farm houses built in 1760 still standing!

Congrats on what sounds like a fine rifle find!

Hoping you did not mean "smokless" inline powder? See ya at the ER if you did.
