That's pretty cool. I wonder what it will bring?
 
On that light a frame has to be a .500 BPE cape gun. That means a .50 cal BP load. Typically these used a 70ish gr black powder charge. It was (and is) a fine deer and boar round, but it is not an African weapon. If it is in proof and no issues, then this is a $2500 - 3k gun.
 
Agreed with above. They are dime a dozen and are $1000-$3000 guns. 99% of them are Belgian or Indian. (Brit makers selling to the colonies)

Easy to regulate with just one rifle barrel and almost always BP. Not suitable for dangerous game but ideal for deer hunting in states with overlapping grouse seasons. Murphy's law says you ALWAYS flush grouse on the way to the deer stand and those are sadly the only grouse you see all year. :( Mr. Murphy is a jerk.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
