I'm ashamed
« on: October 18, 2009, 03:28:15 AM »
I picked up this rifle at the Gun Makers fair at Dixon's and haven't shot it yet. I'm not worthy :'(.  I just sent out an order for supplies for it and will make the time to get her sighted in. It's been a busy year to say the least, that's my feeble attempt at an excuse. Anybody buying it? Didn't think so. Here she is, a TVM Leman in .54 cal. Much better handling than my GPR. Hope to have a range report soon.

I think you should trade it even for my almost new, real muzzleloading Knight rifle :'(
Then you wouldn't feel so bads about leaving it idle ::)

Mike,
I picked up a left handed TVM early Virginia, left handed, recently. It is one of the nicest rifles I have owned and shoots a lot better than I do. Do yourself a favor and MAKE the time to shoot her in.

You ought to send this photo to TVM.  I've always shied away from their Leman because their photo makes it look thick and clunky.  They'd sell lots more with your photo.

Now, shut off your computer, move away from the desk, and go shoot.

Thanks fellas. I ordered up some stuff to get her to make smoke. I was really happy with the way it turned out. Matt and Toni are nice folks to deal with. Here's a few more pics. Enjoy, Mike
