    Why no tube guns?

    After talking with both Mark and Woody, when I get ready (read that as "have the money") to have this rifle built, I'll have them do it. Jay

    Why no tube guns?

    Hey Guys, Thanks for all the good info. Dennis, first off I have to say that 52 sporter is one of the best looking rifles I've ever seen. Just beautiful. I have a B that my dad built from a ratty old target rifle back in the 60's before anybody thought they'd be worth anything. I have an...

    Why no tube guns?

    Why no tube guns?

    Hey Guys, Just wondering if anybody out there is using a tube gun, like a MAC or a Eliseo. I'm a high-power shooter (cross the course or XTC) who shoots a match rifle mouse gun. I'm wanting to move to a bolt gun though to make use of better cartridges, and just for something new. I'm looking...
