I was going to build the Traditions Kentucky Rifle from a kit. Instead I took the easy way out and ordered the factory finished rifle. I figured I have alot of tools to gather first, so I'll just put off a kit till later. Anyway, the rifle looks great, the fit and finish is pretty good. After wiping it down and cleaning the bore I took it to the range today to see what a budget Kentucky style rifle can do. I popped about a dozen caps to get used to the single trigger. It's heavy but not too bad. I fired 3 shot groups at 50 yards with 70-90 grains of FFg KIK Black and a .490 ball and .015" ticking patches. The rifle seems to like 90 grains. It shot all groups to the right. I had forgot my brass punch to drift the sight. All in all I'm happy with it. Not too bad for the money. I am not crazy about the 2 piece stock but it's sturdy and does the job.
