View Muzzleloader Catalog

"There is no more fatal policy in hunting unsafe game than a antipathy of the brute, exhibited past a selection of weapons of junior caliber. Common sense should be the guide, and surely it requires no extraordinary intelligence to understand that a big animal requires a big bullet, and that a large bullet requires a corresponding charge of pulverisation, which necessitates a heavy rifle."
- Sir Samuel White Baker, "Wild Beasts and Their Ways."

OCTOBER Country BIG BORE SPORTING RIFLE

The most powerful traditional muzzleloading burglarize manufactured today!

Ability AT THE EXTREME

This rifle is designed using the principals advocated by Lt. James Forsythe, MA in his volume "The Sporting Rifle and Its Projectiles". Lt. Forsythe hunted extensively in Bharat & Africa during the end of muzzleloading era. He developed the theory of using a big diameter round ball with massive charges of black powder. By utilizing ultra slow twist rifling, the projectile tin can be delivered with good accuracy and devastating results. The OC Large Bore Sporting Rifle delivers the raw; knock down power demanded past today's discriminating black pulverization hunter. By any standard, this is an crawly rifle.

Oct State rifles are patterned later on the works of the finest English rifle makers of the 19th century. Famous big game hunters like Forsythe, Bakery, Sellous and Finaughty knew the ability developed past large bore round ball guns. They depended on them for their success and their rubber, when rifled in accordance with Lt. Forsythe's theory. These firearms can produce amazing ability and accuracy at ranges thought improbable for a circular ball gun. We invite yous to discover what was proved and and so forgotten well over a century ago.

The most powerful hunting rifles burn tremendous quantities of black pulverization and shoot large diameter round balls with good accuracy and moderate recoil. Recoil is managed by a combination of right stock design, burglarize weight and balance. All of our rifles feature English L & R locks and Moody barrels. The barrel channels are drinking glass bedded, as are the lock and trigger mortise and the butt end of the stock. The locks, barrels and piece of furniture on all rifles are common cold brown to a satin finish that helps reduce glare and reflection, also cold brown imparts on one-time time rust finish to the guns.

Operation of the OC Big Diameter Sporting Burglarize is awe-inspiring. With the suggested maximum charge of 210 grains of FFg black pulverization, cage velocities exceed one,800 fps. Although Lt. Forsythe advocated this detail bore/accuse rifling combination to exist acceptable to 250 plus yards, a more than moderate range of 150 yards to deliver maximum energy.

"I have seen in a life'due south experience the boggling vagaries of rifle bullets…in that location is nothing, in my stance, superior to the old spherical hardened bullet with a heavy accuse of powder. The friction is minimized, the velocity is accordingly increased, and the hard round bullet neither deflects nor alters its form, but cuts through intervening branches and goes direct to its aim, breaking basic and keeping a straight form through the animal. This means death!"
- Sir Samuel White Baker, "Wild Beasts and Their Means."
