Here's a link to some pictures of mne. It's Miller's pattern. I built it strictly for my hunting, plain and simple. Originally it had a .54 Getz barrel but I replaced it with a .62 Colerain. The gun weighs 7 1/4 lbs. with a very dense piece of walnut. Lesser wood would probably take it down to 7 lbs.

This gun has been dropped, fallen on, snowed on, rained on, used and even slightly abused. It's still in reasonable shape. It has taken quite a few deer and a couple of groundhogs. It's still my favorite hunting gun.

Even with thses old eyes I can shoot 2" at 50 yds (bench) with 110 grians of FF or 90 of FFF. We won't talk about offhand.  Recoil is solid but not unpleasant.
