New Rifle and some pics and movie
I got this brand new limited edition CVA Plainsman .50cal Flintlock in trade at the Santa Fe Trails Rendezvous. I'd rather not talk about the rendezvous as i still have a strong bitter taste in my mouth from it.
But heres the Plainsman. Shes percussion fast and accurate! My first 2 shots off a small sand bag @ 100 yards measured 1 1/2" center/center and shot #3 opened it up to a final 2 1/2" This rifle came with a 20lb trigger ( and thats not BS ) I was pretty amazed with the accuracy of this rifle. Today i installed an adjustable tumbler that i had on hand and shes got a nice crisp 3 1/2 lb pull.
My nephew caught this on the 13th on his 3rd cast. 23 1/2" 5lb Rainbow trout.
My .50cal Traditions Kentucky on range at the NRA.
Plainsman and the Kentucky after their range session.
Now this is some Entertainment!!

Holding the butt of the rifle with your hand behind it is one way
to protect the shoulder when shooting off the bench using a rest.
It alsohelps tocontrol the gun torquingdue toshooting heavy,
large caliber bullets like the .45-70.
And it works with lighter weight rifleshaving curved buttplates too!
