A 16 bore English Sporting rifle in cap-lock period was the epitomy, highest form of desgin/function and therefor close to the ultimate in a BP hunting rifle for North America. The ultimate, woudl of course, be an English Sporting rifle with 2 barrels of 16 to 14 bore.

If Steve would post a couple pics of his previous rifles?

The Christian Springs rifle above would of course, being a 16 bore as well, make a great hunting rifle for someone wanting that early era of the 18th century in a rifle that was built in the Americas. As I see it, the basic pattern is a cross between the shorter Jaeger and I think the slightly longer English Sporting rifle of that period. They are wonderful shooting rifles which point well indeed, much better than the later and small bored longrifles that became popular. The German heritage of the Christian Springs rifles is quite evident. Steve has captured the grace, beauti and function of that period's rifles exceptionally well.
