This stock is cut from a select plank of fine English walnut, kiln dried and air dried for a period of 8 years.
Of particular interest is the rear sight. It is hand made and is an exact copy of the English sporting rifle sights of the period [1790’s to 1820’s]
.
It is a 2 bladed sight. The rear blade is set for zero at a range of 100 yds.
The front blade is set for a range of 175 yds. This rifle was used by myself to hunt white tail deer in 2007. It took a deer with a shot thru the heart at 135 yds. The last time I sighted this gun in, it hit a 2” circle the first shot at 100 yds. bench rest. I call that exceptional for a flintlock. That is typical accuracy for a John Getz barrel. |
