Anyone considering a custom BH gun ?

[1874sharpsshooter]

If so what caliber would be your preference??
Thinking about listing one but not sure if I should post a 40 , 45 or a 50 cal
All built on a Remington 700 ml action . Only the 40 was fired others are unfired .
The 40 is the fanciest and nicest looking one .

408. Krieger barrel

 

[1874sharpsshooter]

45 cal. Brux barrel

 

[1874sharpsshooter]

50 cal. Douglas barrel

For me personally, out of those 3 my interest is in the .45

I would have to go with the 40
but that is just the way I roll

Hello1874 SS. As i have said before, i have never seen such an exquisite collection of muzzleloaders. I drool when you list these gems. As we gracefully age, my preference, as well as some other older folks here, would have to be the lighter smokeless options that you display. Sure would like to know the weight of these beauties you list. It doesn’t have to be exact, just step on the bathroom scale holding said weapon. That would give us an idea. Thank you kindly and look forward to your listings… shorty

I will weigh them when i get a chance but one thing I do know is they are not light . My guess is close to 12 pounds without scope.
Probably 13 a scope put on them , depending on the scope

Those are some very nice looking muzzleloaders! They seem to be on the heavy side but would be great for long distance hunting! Very nice!

I weighed the heaviest one with the Krieger bull barrel . 14 with the scope. So 12 without .
This was built for long range shooting and the goal was to be under the 15 pound limit at Friendship . Which was achieved
This wasnt designed for toting in the woods

The 45 with Brux 1:18 is the lightest at barely under 10 pounds naked

Can the 45 with the Brux handle smokeless or only BH?

Nevermind, saw you answered that in your ad.

I don't use or shoot smokeless powder so that is why it is listed as a BH209 gun.
