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!!! Last edited by kaywoodie; 04/07/17.

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.

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!!!!). Last edited by kaywoodie; 04/09/17.

Hadn't shot it yet, Jag. Trying to get away from house is like pulling teeth. Also, Gotta run a batch of balls before I can think about shooting it!
