Sighting in My New Englander

[Splitear]

I went out for about an hour last weekend and put a few shots through my “new” New Englander. It took a little adjustment, but I’m feeling pretty confident with it. I’m still going to try to get a few more range days in with it before hunting season though, partly for practice, and mostly because it’s so much fun to shoot.

Nice shooting! I love the New Englander, in my opinion one of the nicest guns that TC made. I have 3 of them and have taken many deer with both round ball and Great Plains bullets. Best of luck with yours, hope you get a nice one with it.

Looks like your getting it dialed in. How many yards was that?

Thanks! That’s around 50. My range only runs to 57 to the berm, so it’s about what I can sight for.

I recently purchased a New Englander online that came with a .50 barrel and also a 12 bore barrel. I only bought it because I wanted the shotgun and was going to sell the rifle barrel online once it came in. Well, yesterday I was shooting and cleaning a few rifles and getting my stuff ready for the muzzleloader deer opener this Saturday. I decided to put that rifle barrel on the New Englander and blow a few round balls through it before listing it for sale. To make a short story long, I was so impressed with it that it will be what I start my season with on Saturday. Guess I will need to buy another stock assembly to put that 12 bore barrel in… This rifle is super accurate and a pleasure to shoot. Good shooting with your New Englander, by the way.

I actually went out the weekend before last to up my charge to 80gr. I was even more pleased with my grouping, and think I’m going to keep it here.

They are nice rifles. Good shooting.

New Englanders are really good rifles. i currently own two, a .50 caliber and a re-bored to .58 caliber. The .50 caliber has killed many deer and wild hogs. Also have an extra .50 caliber barrel, the short one: i put fire sights on that one.
