Traditions Kentucky Rifle Deluxe Version

[Black_Feather]

I have a hankerin' to get me one of these. I know they are very entry level and not so much pc, but I just can't seem to help myself. Ive had pedersoli, lyman, etc... I think its time I add one to my collection, I hear they are accurate shooters at least!

The best thing about jukar, cva and traditions Kentucky rifle is all the dirty looks you get when you out shoot people with fancy guns.

The 4-H kids on the muzzleloader team likes this rifle.

The Spanish know how to produce an accurate barrel, that's for sure. They all tend to be lasers. My SDI Shenandoah version, with the one-piece stock and set triggers, is a pretty cool gun, I don't care what anybody says.

I have one. It’s a good one but it ain’t fer sale.😉

Notice that this group was shot at 75 yards in the rain. My favorite guns are flintlock smooth bores but this one is hard to beat.

And I’ve done that too!🤣🤣

The only reason I was looking at the deluxe is because I’ve heard the regular Kentucky has a floppy trigger with a heavy pull…Is that true?

Yes, but there are things you can do to tighten it up. But, if you have the option, get the deluxe with the set triggers. I think it also comes with the upgraded lock with the bridle on the tumbler. I may be wrong about that, I know my Shenandoah has the bridle.

My set trigger was gritty, so I replaced the roll pins with dowel pins, polished everything, and it really smoothed things out.
