RD Venturing Into The Single Shots

Post by Ranch Dog »

Started working with a couple of Single Shots! I've been missing out on some public drawing hunts near me on some very good property because they require slug guns be used. I also have some out of State opporutnities now as well that I want to take advantage of. I ran into a clearance deal on "new, old stock" at CDNN for a Rossi S12-50M which is a 12 Gauge Rifled Slug Gun and 50 Caliber Muzzleloader for $200. That is $70 less than I have seen anywhere else. The "anywhere else" rifles are newer with the synthetic stock but honestly I would rather have the wood. I will be loading my own, using the Lee home cast 7/8 and 1 oz slugs. Here is the product image but will get some better pictures as I finish up the rifle.

I'm finishing up a Tru-Oil finish on this matched pair right now and it is outstanding! My plans were to try to sell the muzzleloader barrel but I decided I would mess with it so I ordered the appropriate Lee REAL bullets to work with. When the general rifle season ends here on the ranch, there is a three week muzzleloader season that would allow me to at least fill any antlerless permits that haven't been used.

Finished a buy on GunBroker today for a R762MB. This too was a "new, old stock" rifle chambered in 7.62X39, a cartridge I wanted to work with. Same deal as the S12-50M, older rifle with the wood vs. synthetic stock. I wanted this barrel for my Wizard but they are tough to find. Ended up paying a bit more than I wanted ($315) but they sold new for $270 and where tough to find then so don't feel too bad about the deal. Another fellow wanted to sell me the complete Wizard rifle for $525 and while I was trying to talk him down another fellow bought it for his asking price. That, I didn't understand. Here is the product image, looks like any of the other single shot rifles.

Somehow I will come up with the a youth stock set for this rifle, probably will have one made to fit, as I plan on this being my grandsons first centerfire rifle.

I own a fair number of rifles including a couple of single shot H&R/NEF Handi-Rifles (308 Win & 45-70) which are listed by Buffalo Bore as break-open actions capable of digesting their souped-up ammo.
Last time I counted I only have 2 hands so mother nature has set a practical limit on the number of guns I can own and use without a lot of expensive wallflowers & safe queens laying around collecting dust & rust.

But hey.....some people collect stamps and baseball cards so why not guns? :mrgreen:

I understand completely! I recently tried my hand at long range big bore lever( my RG 45/70). Now I've got the itch to try long range single shot .....bpcr and am wondering what rifle to buy, H&R, Sharps, High Wall, Rolling Block , Trapdoor etc.
Pricedo , feel free to chime in ....followed your advise on the RG and was VERY happy!

Apparently the triggers on the Rossi single shot (SS) rifles (Wizards) are superior to the ones in the factory H&R/NEF break-open rifles.
I picked the NEF SSs for 2 reasons 1) there were no equivalent Rossi SSs at the time & 2) the NEF had a good reputation for very strong actions (close to if not equal to the Ruger models 1 & 3).
The triggers aren't the greatest but they can be honed to be pretty decent.
Not a good idea to go hog wild on tinkering with triggers unless you do your research & know what your doing.
