The Turner Fabrications (MPN: R3980525) ShedHorn is built for sidelock enthusiasts who want an affordable, accurate rifle for a musket-cap season. A lightweight 26″ ultralight Chromoly tapered and fluted barrel with a 1:28 twist handles saboted bullets and modern projectiles, while the Premium CeraKote finish and drilled-and-tapped receiver protect against the weather and leave room for a scope. This model wears the Veil Wideland camo pattern and fires loose black powder or Pyrodex through its musket cap ignition. A double-set trigger, Williams fiber optic sights, rubber butt pad, and solid aluminum ramrod complete the package. See more in our Black Powder Rifles & Muzzleloader Rifles selection.
