That view just screams out Sharps 45-70, black powder loads and gongs out to 300, 500, 700yrds, just have to hook-up some bujiecords to stop recoil on the chair. A hole heap of fun, 101855

No, I would feel weird looking up a barrel with only two groves, there`s something about six groves spiralling off in a barrel that says it`s a barrel. I know it`s hard work but someone has to do...
