Guess what I just ordered...

Hey All,

RR if your going to try long range shooting and being period correct are you going to try creedmore shooting positions like in the pic?



I'm no expert but I think there are more positions for long guns and handguns an such.

I had no idea people would invent such positions but Elmer Kieth used them with handguns. Some of those with rifles I'd likely fall asleep.

I’ve done that bottom one after getting bucked off...looks familiar.

I had the stock cover made rough side out so it will age real nice. He usually makes them smooth side out.

I have shouldered it many times this afternoon, it is a handful with that long barrel. Weighs in around 10 lbs I think. Recoil should be nonexistent.

Congrats RR, finally sir, I know your glad to finally to have it in hand.
She looks very nice and the butt cuff and sight really set it off.
Like, I believe it was Tom said, have no doubt she'll be a shooter.
Anxiously awaiting to see some targets.

Looking good RR.

with that long barrel. Weighs in around 10 lbs I think.

for me firing it from a standing position would require shooting sticks .... do you anticipate any changes from the way you fire you lever rifle

RR make sure to bring your favorite shooting chair!

Bet these would make a good 45 Colt High Wall load. Shoot great in my Henry Carbine and carry some punch!
That 1100 FPS was out of my 2.5 inch Ruger Alaskan. Alliant 2400 would have good burn time in your long barrel.
