Just bought a Traditions Deerhunter 50 cal shot it today and 70 gr 3f home grown and caps shot .490 round ball with .015 cotton patch around 2 - 2 1/2 inch group at 50 yards. Thought that was pretty good with my eyes Its a side lock wood stock. Nice looking rifle for what it is. Compact, light and fiber optic sights. Should be a good woods gun. Much easier the pack than my great planes rifle. Sucks getting older Every thing seems to get harder and heavier this gun is light. Any one have one and have any opinions on them? So far i like it.
