I just thought I would start a post to see what some of us are shooting. I also thought it would let some of the guys that may be thinking about getting into muzzleloading an idea of what kind of options are out there for them. Here are mine:



Top to bottom:

Remington 700
--.50 cal.
--Weaver Grand Slam

Thompson Center Encore
--.50 cal.
--Burris

Thompson Center Hawken
--.50 cal.

Thompson Center Renegade
--.50 cal.

Hey, that Rem is sexy..... [img][IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q247/masterhunter1/tomsmuzzleloader.jpg[/img][/img]
And how it shoots...... [img][IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q247/masterhunter1/targetpic2.jpg[/img][/img]
I'll post some pics of my T/C Greyhawk later.

Now that is a cloverleaf. Excellent shooting

Doc

"captchee" I hope to someday have some nice ones like those!!!!

Probably the best picture of me that anyone will ever see.



White Ultra Mag in action. I have to really scrunch up on that bench of my buddy's - he's about a foot shorter than me.

#1 is a CVA bobcat
#2 is a traditions deerstalker
#3 is a CVA kentuck
#4 , the Flintlock SXS wich started life as a CVA percussion gun
#5 started life as a 12 gage breech loading SXS
#6 is an english fowler
#7 is a custom gun i built from a John Armstrong parts kit from pecatoncia river

you dont need alot of money , just a want None of the above first 5 guns cost more then 300.00
that included purchase of the gun

Jeeez! UC, what the heck were you shooting out of that?! It blew the hair right off the top of your head!

It wasn't smokeless.



Kinda, sorta my collection. Some of the scopes have been changed out, the laminated White 97 is a "borrowed" picture of one from the web - but I do have one just like it in the rack, and the Knight KP1 is on its way to me, hopefully be here by Wednesday.

This is a compilation of a number of other pictures taken at various points in time and is not to scale. The Huntsman should be nearly equal in length to the 97 above it, the G2 is about an inch and a half shorter than the Huntsman.

Top to bottom:
White Ultra Mag .504
White Whitetail 97 in Ultra Mag stock - .451
White Model 98 Elite Hunter - .451
White Whitetail 97 - .504 - generic picture
TC G2 Contender - 209x45
NEF Huntsman - .50
Standing rifle is a Knight KP1 in .50 caliber (not yet delivered)

I've had a Rem. 700 ML for about 10 years and didn't know you could run 150 grains thru it!

Nice shootin!

Flintlocks, smoothbores and rifles

12 ga. Fowler took this Tom



.62 cal flintlock rifle took this bull



.54cal flintlock rifle took this buck

Boartuff, go ahead give it a try....my 700 ML shot the 100 grains of pyro just as well but I like velocity....I'm getting 2085 fps.

gota love it RW

What a great bunch of muzzle loaders. Here's my home made rifle. 50 Cal.

Man, some gorgeous weaponry!

Here's my very plain Lyman Deerstalker .54 lefty, with a Lyman peep sight:


She won't shoot a sub-quarter-sized group at 100 yards like Tom264's Remmie up above, but she does okay. Here's a 7/8" 3 shot group at 50 yards, 80 grains Pyrodex RS under a 430 grain T/C Maxi:

She'll shoot PRB's about as well, although I've still never gotten a taller front sight (shoots balls about 6" high at 50 yards with rear sight at lowest setting).

Captchee, RWL99 and DocFoster ... those are some fine looking weapons. RWL, I especially like the in-field shots with the game they've taken!

All the best,
Liam

doc , thats a nice looking rifle . looks like you did a fine job on it

Heres a quick pic of my T/C Greyhawk I promised earlier......see I dont just like inlines, I like perc too.

Top is a no-smoke smokepole, savage, and bottom is a PH musketoon

Doc

Their a hoot huh. I swear every bench at our club was built by the seven dwarfs. Extra big fun with heavy loads out of a scoped lott

I had never in my life been "scoped" until I started trying to shoot off that bench. Of course, I could buy a proper rest to provide more elevation - but that just wouldn't seem right.

Here are two of mine:
.58 H&R Huntsman
.45 H&R Shikari muzzleloader conversion
