Verney Carron .577 Question
Are the left and right barrels crossing? Maybe I should send the rifle back to Ken.

Mike:

Can I ask, what does your .577 weigh and what is it like to shoot? Did you put any optics on it or leave it with open sights?

Honestly Mike, that's the best you can do? Obviously the powder is temperature sensitive! Send it back and demand a full refund from Ken.

Not bad for offhand at 100 yards, work on adjusting your point of aim to the center. Big Grin

Don't they know only the Germans, English and Americans can make good guns Wink
Bullets crossing?
Just fire both at the same time and if you hear a "Ting" that is either the bullets clanging together or a filling come lose Wink

If I shot six of those the only thing crossing would be my eyes.

100 yards, yea right. To shoot that thing at 100 yards you would need a mortar plate and elevation screw.

Yes, at Carters. Lady wanted to know how many skeet tickets I wanted. I think it will take a little more practice before I will be ready to try and shoot skeet with it. Eeker
