50-70 and the BPCR Rookie

[Mike]

Hey Kurt, A .50/70 would sure make those pins swing. There is nothing "sluggish" about a .50/70. About a year ago I let a friend try my 26" barreled '74 (pictured) .50/70 at a 'chicken' out at 200 meters, offhand. He didn't have to hold as high as he expected. Then, after shooting my rifle, he lasted only 3 days before ordering one for himself. His .50/70 is a Hunter's Rifle/Carbine from C. Sharps Arms with the 26" barrel. They're really made for shooting! He mostly shoots paper patch now and that's his horseback hunting rifle.     Mine is my "camp gun." Shoot sharp, Mike
