Hollis,

Thanks again for all the help.

I think though there might be some confusion coming out of my end. My FFIL is not new to shooting or hunting, rather he has tasked me to find him an "old gun" that fits his broad specs.

He has been hunting and shooting his whole life, and would not take a shot at an animal unless he was sure he could hit it.

He also isn't new to BP, he hunts with an old flash pan muzzle loader every year.

He may very well be open to using a scope but I would have to present it to him as such. He said a scope wasn't necessary but I don't think he is dead set against it.

He's a hard one to gauge, a rough and tough SOB that isn't so big on words.

He wants a sharps or similar period but I am not sure he is set on having to take that for elk, he wants something old west or just old. As he is hunting with his brother and his sons who are all into "new guns and $1000 scopes."

He is very much into doing things the "old hard way"


Again thanks for helping me figure something out. If you think its hard to judge what his specs are, you should try being his son in law.
