His rifles are WELL worth the wait! I just got my 8-bore jaeger caplock from him. Best, John | |||

John, Have you shot the gun yet? Why did you settle on the 8? Thanks John | |||

Have shot it quite a bit actually in the last six weeks. It shoots well, as I'm sure all of Jim's rifles do. I settled on the 8-bore as it seems to have a better record for penetration. For anything smaller than elephant I can use round ball and for elephant I can use conicals. These will out-penetrate 4 bore round balls and seem infinitely more practical than possibly moving up to 4-bore conicals (1/2 pound!) Are you trying to decide between the two? Drop me a PM. Best, John | |||

Bill, The twist on mine is 1:120....Obviously, this will work better for the round balls but assuming any conical would be used on elephant, I think "minute of elephant heart" accuracy is all that is necessary. Wouldn't be doing any shooting in that case at beyond 50 yards anyway. Best, John | |||

Hello John, I am probably only going to use it on whitetails so any of John's gun will be big enough. Just have to decide which gun to order. John | |||

J_Zola, Maybe a 10 or 12 bore then? Its a tough decision. Have you thought about whether you are going to with Jaeger or Englsh style? John | |||

I think I like the Enlish style with the Rigby stock. I was all set to buy a Encore but after looking over his gun I cannot live with out a big bore gun. Have you looked at his peep sight? John | |||

I know, his rifles are really beautiful. Easy to pass on the Encore for a nice custom gun every time! I like his English guns too but obviously decided to go with the Jeager. I like short full-stock rifles but if I were going for a 10 or 12 bore I might look harder at the English style. I haven't seen his peep sight....but I imagine it is nice if Jim is putting it on his rifles. Is it his own creation? Best, John | |||

The peep sight looks like his own work. In the pictures John sent the sight was on the English style rifle. John | |||
