So I did some house cleaning and as a result, this liebchen showed up here at the place evening before last. Looks like a .600 RB and a .015 ticking patch is going to be the right medicine for this one! I'm very happy so far with her!!!

Cabelas sent me a some kind of muzzle loader like that 10 years ago. I didn't order it. Ups never showed up to claim it, I had forgotten about it until I saw that pic. I guess it's still in box under bed. I don't remember what brand it was.

Ya see I found all this stuff that I didn't need or want anymore and sold it! Wasn't ever gonna use it. Hell, I still have duplicates of most of it or dang close to it.
I'll get more use outta this Jäger than I will that other stuff!
Edit
Just finished fitting a pair of proper 18th century sling swivel and stud to the girl!! Looks much nicer now! Discovered it was a Getz barrel when I pulled barrel out of stock (which I was hoping it was!!!!).

Very Very COOL, Some here might even say Über Cool Good luck on the elk, when you go. ( I won't say if) As for looking in crannies.................. we do that in the basement, no? Geno

On occasion I'll find a box of bullets or cases or a 'scope that I forgot I had but I can't say that I ever remember finding a "forgotten" rifle

Very cool rifle! That looks really fitting to lay over a bull or heck, any elk!
