This is the early J. Dickert longrifle that I finished last year. It has a 44" Rice Swamped barrel in 50 caliber, wood from Gunstocksplus and Dale Johnson lock from Jim Chambers Longrifles. This is going to be my hunting rifle this fall.

It sure is a beautiful rifle, Bioprof. I really like the 44" barrel, it kinda balances it out and gives it a graceful look. I wish you good luck hunting and hope you decide to post pics of your sucess.

Very nice job. I have always liked that early style Dickert--in fact I have one alot like it but with a .54 Getz 42" swamped barrel that is my big game rifle. I think you'll like it afield. I also have a swamped 44" .50 [Colerain] and so I know you'll like the caliber too. I use 75 gr fffg and a .490 ball in my .50, but for many folks that is on the light side...
