Spike
I've never messed with ML before, but just picked up an abused Traditions Buckhunter for basically free. ($20 and I got a case, gun, primers, powder, bullets/sabots) The last time it was fired it wasn't cleaned, and sat for an unknown number of years. After a fairly thorough cleaning it looks like I have some rust spots, heavier near the breech and smaller spots scattered thoughout. I'll work on it some more. I'm thinking it is safe to shoot but accuracy has likely decreased. The sights are broken, so I am looking for a scope/rings/mounts... and it occurred to me that maybe I am throwing good money after bad. I probably have spent $120 on bits and parts and supplies already, on something that might not be worth anything. To me, as long as it shoots a 4 inch group at 100yards I'd be happy. What do you all think? Trying to see if it is something I will like before shelling out for something nicer like an Optima or Acurra. Advice is welcomed!
