Treb:
Spent too-much time at Dixons last summer to be fully satisfied with my mass-produced smokepole anymore (longrifles just look and feel sooo-good to me!). I also wanted a flinter with much better lock-time, so I just signed-up tuesday for a bespoke .45 lefty gun from TVM to possibly use out here a bit (too small for elk), but mostly for back there. I settled on the .45, a curly-maple stock, and a swamped barrel to save a little weight (on that 42-inch tube!) for nice long walks in Penn's Woods. I told them to pay close attention to weight and balance and I even requested that they cast it "on" for me (we'll see how Matt does?). The build will supposedly take 9-months, so...very much something to look forward to.
I hope you are pleased with yours?
