I see that my new CPA rifle is done!  I found some pictures on their facebook page this morning.

The wood is far fancier than I expected.  This thing is beautiful.

Thanks Gail!!

I think it was around the middle of June last year.

It really is.  And I didn't really ask for any special wood.  I was expecting something more plain.

I didn't really need another silhouette rifle, but I've been thinking about fast twist 38-50's for a long time. I didn't want to wait until I was too old to shoot before getting one so I finally bit the bullet Smiley.

I've also wanted a highwall in 30-40 Krag, but this seems to be a good way of getting a nice single shot in that cartridge.  I got the 32-40 barrel just in case I couldn't get the 38-50 shooting well enough to be really competitive.  I know that I'll always be able to get a CPA in 32-40 shooting very well.

Chris.

Yes, real beauties! They do have some nice wood. The 38-50 may surprise you!

What twist rates did you choose for the three barrels?

The 38-50 is a 1:12 twist, the 30-40 is a 1:10, and I don't remember what the 32-40 was.  I imagine a 1:14 twist Douglas barrel but I could be wrong on that one Smiley
