Traditions Ultra Light LDR

Here she is! Beautiful rifle and surprisingly is NOT barrel heavy. It balances out perfectly. Scope is a Traditions 4-12x40 with ballistic reticle, super clear as well. Trigger breaks clean and crisp at 48oz. Breech plug is nice as well and does work as advertised, with blackhorn209 at least anyway. Still have to try some pellet powder as well as pyrodex loose and see how it handles. Inside the gun box i was really surprised to find a bipod! I didn't think the one i ordered came with it but dang! If i had the right bag for under the stock, I could have shot off that sucker, it was really darn steady on my shooting table.
 
 I still have some fine tuning to do tomorrow with the scope, but I had a great day with this rifle and it can only get better.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Installed metric O ring so blow by would not be a mess
 
 
 
 
 
 So I wouldn't have to edit the photo and say which shots were which. These are the final 3 shots @ 100 yards with 90gr blackhorn209, cci 209m primers, 250gr powerbelt aerolite. Group measured 1 1/2" on a hot barrel.
 
 
 
 23 shots later,
 
 
 
 The buck reaper camo is real cool!

Very nice man.  I really like my buckstalker and it groups about the same.  I do wish I could upgrade to one with the quick breech plug, but for now the old hex one works okay.  ;)  I went the Tru-Glo aftermarket iron sights as I'm not much of a scope lover.  hehe
