Betcha more game has been killed with $500 guns than with $3,000 guns. BTW, I have both and usually used my CVA Mountain rifle for deer. Dale
There's a famous line from an old zombie movie that goes like this....."The only man that could miss with this is the man who could afford to buy it".

Said by a guy fondling an expensive rifle in a sporting goods store.

Wow some of youse guys talk like you're actually proud to be a curmudgeon.....
Curmudgeonism takes dedication.

And it generally comes from acquiring a lifetime of experience that very few have and very few want to listen to.

A complete and total Newb will argue with a Curmudgeon even though the Newb has no clue what they're talking about.

A Newb will ask a Curmudgeon for advice then reject the advice.

Bewildering as all get out.
 
I like my traditions rifles. Accurate and I learned on them. I have kentucky kit I built a traditions kentucky pistol I built and a traditions Shenandoah in .36. All accurate and I enjoy shooting them. Those being critical get off your high horses. Burning holy black is all that matters not what you are shooting. To the op. Enjoy it it's fun.
 
Actually one person is their own person. You are your own person. I really like cherry pie. My closest manager that worked with me could not even look at a cherry. So ok. No problem. Life gives much to learn and some unusual people to teach us. Listen and help as asked. nuff said.
 
I started out with a trash bag of parts, a stock, abarrel and that was all for a TC Hawkin. I had to scrounge different stores to find a lock and other parts.
I took it to my first ever shoot. I hit the 50 yard target, and all of the gongs. The bore is true. I guess the rest is blind luck. alike I said before shoot what you have and work your way up if you want to. Any day that you can burn powder is a good day. Hornbender.
 
Thank you! Sometimes I feel like I'm loosing my mind here.
losing ones mind is almost mandatory on most threads here.
the opinion of many on these forums i consider piles of fecal matter, but i will fight to the death for the right of those that have those opinions.
never had a Traditions anything. Started muzzleloading with a CVA mountain rifle.
now i could have anything i really wanted and have most of those.
that said, just for S&G's i am tempted to buy the blunderbuss in the adds.

You do realize that depending on the Tradition's model in question, IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS A CVA. The Jukar/Dikar/Ardessa plants may all be different BUT they make roughly the same guns (or did) depending on era.

I won't take that bet with odds.
I don't hunt no more, but if'n I was a few years younger, D'you 'spose I'm gonna drag my custom Bucket List through the brush, or one 'em other ones?
I 'spect that's why.
 
When my budget was Traditions, my eye was sharp.
Now my budget is Custom, because I need all the help I can get.

How 'bout that?
Are you saying your aging eyes can see the iron sights on a custom rifle as well as your younger eyes could see the iron sights on a Traditions rifle?

Are you saying more expensive America made guns provide a better iron sight picture than cheap Spanish made guns?

Scopes are good right? They are the only thing i can see these days.
