Well I was talking to my girl about getting myself a BP Whitworth. And she wants one to go hunting with me too!

Interestingly enough she was undecided about guns but felt they were unsafe when we first met and agisnt hunting. Now a mear half a year later she wants one of her own.

So anyways I'll stop my little rant but this means I am going to be spending more money on BP rifles then I though

She asked me for a website with them and I gave her Dixie's and she picked out: http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product...roducts_id=882

Its a 58cal rifle with a 24inch long barrel called "Cook and Brother Carbine" Do you think that this will have enough power to kill a deer ??

She'd prefer a carbine because shes abit short in height. But I am unsure of this will be ok or not for hunting.

Thanks in advance for the replys
