Nice rifle! I looked at their Early Virginia for a long time before I went with a custom build.Like I said, if new it would have been out of my price range but a good friend offered me a deal with a payment plan.

Break it in right with some huntin' then how about testing it out in our new 2017 TMA Paper Silhouette Match, TallTexan.
We'd love to have a rifle like that puttin' holes in them silhouettes!

Mighty fine looking rifle with all the trimmings.I've had her out three times making smoke but still haven't really done any serious accuracy work. The previous and original owner found that 65 grains of 3f Goex and a .490 RB worked for his purposes but I need to find out for myself and get comfortable with before going hunting.

However, that silhouette match sounds like just the motivation I need to get out and really dial things in. BTW, my shooting bag is from the Weaving Welshman with a waxed strap as is the leather although it's never been tested in the rain. The horn is just for show and hangs on my wall, I use either an Austin Walker dyed horn or a small flat horn, both have WW straps.

Nice looking plains rifle. How are you and that Early Virginia getting along?Just fine but after going through some major health problems I don't get to the shooting range very much or even once a year. Things will get better and eventually so will I but my new normal simply won't include monthly shooting matches with practice in between. Having said all that, I'm sure that my EV rifle is going to shoot as good as she looks.

I go back and forth when it comes to color of finish. Just when I see a red like your old EV and decide that's what I like them I'll see a brown like your new one and then that's my favorite. Decisions, decisions.....

Anyway, it's been almost a month and still no repair kit so I limp along. There's no way I could maneuver the gravel and uneven surface at the range at present. Soooo, periodically I take out my smokepoles and wipe them down with oil, swab the bore, make sure the lock it giving a good shower of sparks or snap the hammer with a piece of leather over the cap. Just to make sure, you know?

I am glad you are feeling better and seem to have been able to keep a sense of humor. Insurance companies can be aggravating, to say the least. I hope you are able to make smoke soon!
It's not from a lack of firearms that I don't, rather a lack of mobility.
After beginning this little journey on Dec. 3, 2013, I've come to the conclusion that insurance companies are the poorest losers in the world! They gamble on their customers never making a claim but when they do, they refuse to pay unless "proof" is submitted immediately. Just think of going to Vegas with that attitude. Go up a million bucks on the Blackjack table then losing one hand and demanding proof that it was indeed a loss.
