RR, with the way you shoot that Frontier 50 I'm beginning to wonder if you plan to go counter to history and convert those cartridge guns of yours to BP.

That's some amazing offhand work at 100 yards, my friend, even if you had been using a scoped cartridge rifle. Outstanding.

I really do love shooting this rifle!

I say this because I have shot BP rifles for quite some time. At the range that I belong to there is target boards and steel swingers. At the 100 yard range there is a Buffalo that is about 12 inches high and 24 inches long. Ive shot at it while it laughs at us many times. Last time out I was shooting my Green River Rifle works 50 caliber Leman Trade Rifle. It weights about 10 lbs. I shot at the Buffalo about 6 times only hitting it twice offhand. Ranchroper would of hit in 6 out of 6 times with his gun. Give it a try with a 10 lb gun offhand and see how hard it is at 100 yards. Ranchroper has a gift with anything he shoots and I wish I could shoot half as good as he does.

Wow thanks. My Frontier is about 7 lbs. Might help a bit. Think I nailed it filing the front sight too.
