I have a Traditions Woodsman Hawken in a .50 rock sparker . For my $418 total n it was assembled n it shoots very well. I am also hunting with it this Fall for those tick toters !I got this fever, so to make me feel better, I bought a Kentucky long rifle. Cheapest one i could find was $394.00, free shipping from midway. Its a .50 cal., percussion, all put together not kit!! I know you get what you pay for but Traditions actually did a very good job on fit and finish for such a low cost rifle. Not expecting much, went out back and started shooting. Wow, one of the most accurate side locks i ever shot, from 0-100 yds., using a prb and 60 grains of 3f . The iron sites are nothing pretty but seem to do the job a very good job.. i will kill deer with this gun. Such a pleasure to shoot, and a very, very accurate inexpensive rifle….
Yesterday, I emailed Dennis at Fury Bullets. I'm on the list to get some bullets made. 40 cal. 200gr LT.
I got some HLBS, wads, and other stuff on the way.
COOL! Good luck & enjoy the hunt.Made up some charges and loaded the White Tominator for a Colorado Turkey hunt this weekend.
