Thanks, yeah it's a
50 cal. Shoots straight. Browning got into the Black Powder business with a nice rifle, and Browning quality, when there were all kinds of rifles for under $200 at the time. They pretty much blew it. They didn't make them for very long. Its pretty much period correct as can be. Inch across the flats, it gets heavy on a hunt.
The site should be fixed. We show secure now, we should have a favicon and the picture aspect should be better.

You would be lucky if you could find one for triple that now. I see them go for 6 to 800.00. Some higher than that.

My rifle went for $344 in 1979. That was a lot more than the other .50 cal Hawkins gun at that time.

Re: Traditions Trapper
It's a real beauty. That wood is just fantastic. Looks like he does excellent work. How's that old smoke pole shoot?

Re: Traditions Trapper
It shoots better than I can. I dont hunt much with them but I sure do like ringin steel with one.

Re: Traditions Trapper
Great new out-of-the-box range report, PJM. In particular, the pistol sights are well-aligned for windage.
How did you like the powder load you used? Any fine-tuning in the wind?
I know exactly what that hoot-to-shoot experience is with the Trapper. Glad you didn't wait for spring
