Well, I ordered a smoke pole.

[rf2]

seen a gun during the hunt season where the guy filled up the stock with lead shot, gave it some balance and reduced the recoil.

I don't have any issue with the recoil from the rifle and I like the fact that it is light. I don't like the balance issue, but I can live with it. Now if I could just get the thing to shoot better.... I need to try some different bullets and go with loose powder.

Well, I always wanted to get a traditional style, ideally a flinter and a modern one. The guys from Cabelas came back to me, they had the Traditions Kentucky rifle on $100 off and knocked another $50 off for me, $349 for a round ball or PA conical shooting 50 cal percussion gun coming my way, the Pursuit is still on our list and will be picked up when the tax man gives me my money back, so a 2 for this spring, ha ha.

I should see it this week, then wait for gun shows to get the accessories, the budget will be blown on the guns so it will take the spring to get things sorted out for the range.

It showed up in the mail, a lot lighter than I actually expected for 7lbs, still nothing my wife could hunt with but the 7lbs is spread out nicely.

Now my list for the gun show starts, it came with nothing other than the under barrel ramrod, so I have a number of things to pickup before I can shoot it.
