kurt,
That is indeed a fine rifle! If you should ever decide get rid of it let me know!
Like that will happen!
And that is one sexy lookin' cartridge there with that fine rifle! Is that the .44-77?

Oh yea, to the point of the thread, I much prefer a single trigger, never liked the double sets much.

Sorry Jim.
I already told Carolyn I want to be buried with that rifle to use on the other side when it's time.

And you'll let me shoot it when I see you on the other side, right?
I wonder sometimes how far they'll let us shoot over there? I figure God must enjoy a good BPCR match now and again or he wouldn't have give us so many fine rifles on this side!

You bet.
Just look me up and we will have fun getting together again making smoke.

My hunting rifle has a single trigger and it breaks crisp at 2# 4 oz. I wish all of my Shilohs had a single trigger.
I have short fingers and the lever beats my middle finger up after a weeks shooting at matches.
I have a Creedmoor silhouette rifle that had a single trigger but like a dummy I had Kirk inlay a double set and he did a fine job, but somewhere down the line I will have him put the single back in.

Kurt I love that rifle you have pictured, can you post a couple more pics and give me the specs on it, I really like the look of that and I like the crescent butt to. Thanks
Chris

Chris,
This rifle is a Shiloh Hartford .44-77. It has a light weight barrel 30" long 1.019" at the breach .905" at the muzzle. It weighs 10# 05 oz.
It has a Lawrence rear sight and a sight that Stephen Borud made for it. The front sight I filed down for a 125 yard zero.
By the way, that sight is set for 1585 yards as it is.
