C. Sharps Big Fifty?

[Mike]

Eric, Which .50/90 by C. Sharps are you thinking about? If it's that 14 pound Bridgeport with the #2 barrel in the C. Sharps "ready rack" it would be a good choice. I have a Hartford that weighs as much and it really helps in the recoil department. Those .50/90s do kick, there's no gettin' around that. I also have an early Gemmer by C. Sharps Arms in .50/90 which has the 1 in 36" twist to the barrel. That works rather well with the 500 grain paper patch bullet I use with it. It's hard for me to do well with that rifle now because it still has only the open sights on the barrel and my eyes don't agree with those anymore. Even so, I don't want to change its sights so heavier .50/90s get taken to the ranges now. Shoot sharp, Mike
