My parents bought me that rifle for Christmas the year I turned 17. It has received some battle scars over the last 35 years. The last time I shot that rifle was in 2010, the year I killed my profile pic bull. I was packing that rifle as a back-up to my White. Decided after that trip, I was getting too old to pack two rifles....She looks FACTORY StockThat is a late Variation Hammer, they came with that slight offset
I believe mine s drilled and tapped with a small slotted plug in it. I’ll check in the morning. My gun is at my shop, and I’m home for the evening.
And there it is. Like I stated earlier, this gun has some battle wounds. They say the male brain isn’t fully developed until 24-25 years old. So I had this rifle 7 years with only half a brain.....
I only did it cause I couldn’t see the open sights any longer. It’s a 1x scope and actually makes things look farther away. It was deadly accurate at 200 yards though, last time I shot it (2010). The crosshairs just left a tiny bit of a paper plate visible at that range so it was pretty easy to tell when you were holding dead on. It would pound shot after shot into that plate. I loaded it with a 100 gns 777 2f and 250 grain EZ Glides or power belts. It shot them both extremely well. I don’t know that it would black an eye, but being punched on the end of the nose made the eyes water a time or two.
I don’t shoot this Rifle much, When i do Grab it, i have forgotten the Last WACK to the Nose, So my 1st Shot is usually an Eye Watering deal I had this Rifle out Recently with my 525 Grain GG Bullets to put a Good Group on my YouTube Channel with hit, The 1st Shot was a SLAM TO THE NOSE, i stood there with my Eyes Watering, i Cussed the Gun a little, Actually a LOT. I tried to Settle in and Make the Group happen, But i was Gun Shy, i ended up with a 2” Group. The Rifle will Shoot EVERY bit as good as my Others, But i am not a Real Big Fan of the Lyman GPH
Yeah I think it’s just because of how far forward the scope is. I f I just shoulder it comfortably, and forget about sight picture, I don’t think it would happen. With open sights, I don’t ever remember having it happen. I refitted a Williams rear sight with a much finer front bead to it than the TC originals. I shot this very accurately until it just got too hard to see the bead. Wish I could still see....I missed this somehow?
I have never been hit with the Renegades or Hawkens, They Fit like a Fine Swiss Watch for me.
Now i have NEARLY Broke my nose a Few times with my Lyman Great Plains Fast Twist .54 Cal, it’s my Thumb that Gets me. I shoot a Lyman 57 Tang mounted Peep on the Lyman GP Rifle as well, it is a little Shorter Through the Wrist area than my TC’s, And the Lyman Has that HEAVY DROP Comb. When i Wrap my Thumb Around the Wrist, And get my Cheek weld, This puts my Thumb RIGHT AT the Bridge of my Nose. It only takes 1 Shot to Remember
yes its made for Weaver. I just bought the Holden Iron sighter from Ebay. It is way less expensive and I think I can still use my peep sight with it. It looks like the buckhorn can be removed from it.
I think the #9754 mount and a pistol scope would be ideal for your situation if you wanted to scope yours.
I"m always looking to improve my long range targets as my Renegade is the one thing I can up grade ,(EYES/age ) I think I"m stuck with .That said the stock trigger is down to ounces and repeatable ,came with an ebay stock I paid way to much for (skip checkering /wood) and perhaps a trigger job? But all my other sidelock stocks seem mostly similar so question is what did you improve on the stock triggers?Like I said I"m retired (not rich) but I would give up a lot if there was a significant improvement /who needs dentists anyway/Ed
