Well, i'm back after a long layoff. I got some injuries and wasn't sure i'd ever shoot again. I didn't get to hunt this year at all, As a matter of fact I sold all my guns thinking I didn't need them anymore.
I healed up better than I was expecting. At least better than I thought my 73 year old body was going to. So, I started looking around for a gun to hunt with, and maybe some postal shoots. I found a clean Renegade a friend had. It's got a brand new Sharon barrel, .54, 29" with a 1-72 twist. Perfect for the PRB that I love so much. All it needs is a new ramrod made up for the longer barrel, and some stock sights. It's got FO sights now. They have to go.
Here she is.

Great to see that you are healing well!!
If need be, you are welcome to borrow my CVA "Hawken" that I bought from Frontier Gander. It is a .50 cal. I'm not too far away, over in Golden, CO. Just give me a yell if you want to use it.

You better run.

I never bought this gun.
I bought a Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle instead. I should receive it any day now.

You know we need to see pictures, right? Glad you are on the mend, Muley.

I don't have a camera, but these are the sellers pictures. I plan to refinish it.

What stain and finish are you looking to use to refinish the rifle, Pete?

I'm not sure yet. I'd like the wood a darker color. Something similar to this gun. I know it's maple, and mine is walnut, but i'd still like the color if it's possible.

Now, THAT is a BIG animal!
I saw the results of an intimate relationship between a Moose and a Subaru Outback up near Estes Park. Not a nice sight! A 900 lb Moose can do some damage.
