New to me Cabelas/Investarms 50cal.

[rodeojoe]

I have been wanting one of these for years. They don't make them anymore, so I figured it was about time. I found one and I don't have to look anymore.
It is a Cabela's .50cal. sporterized Carbine. 21" octagon barrel. Factory adjustable fiber-optic rifle sights. Double set triggers, rubber recoil pad.
Made in Italy by Investarms.
This is mostly to mess around with. I hunt with a smokeless 700.

Congrats! Those Investarms can be good shooters. I'm not familiar with your gun, but let us know how it shoots!

Have one just like it. Haven't shot it in years, but it shot pretty well.

A lot of fun to hunt with those!

Cool...nice to see some interest in traditional MLs on TnDeer.

I am jealous lol. That's a nice muzzleloader. I have been lookin for a nice side hammer for awhile now. Can't seem to find one.

That's a great gun. My dad had one before he passed away (brother has it now), shot maxi balls great.

You're gonna like it, I have one in 58 caliber.

When I was a teen my neighbors, 2 brothers, bought 2 of these. They killed a lot of deer with them. I think they shot a lot with round balls but, used Great Plains bullets too.

IIRC the carbine models in 50 and 54cal are 1-24 twist. They made a 45cal also but i dont think Cabelas had that one. Not sure about its twist either. The 50 and 54 should real thumpers with lead conicals.

Good grab. I have one just like it. They shoot heavy conicals real good.
