Lyman

Saw a blurb somewhere the other day advising that there will be no more Lyman Great Plains rifles. If that's true there's not much left. Wouldn't it be nice if T/C (new TC) reintroduced a the Hawken and the Renegade!

I thought they discontinued them a while back. T/C has been bought and is moving out of New York.

gone

They may well have, but this is the first I'd heard of it. About the same time, I learned that T/C was moving, purchased by one of their long time staffers I believe. The demise of the Great Plains leaves a gap in the market. Not a marketing guy, but with Traditions being the only other traditional pattern available, aside from the Italian guns, could there be a market?

Muzzle-loaders.com is importing and selling the Investarms Great Plains Rifle under the name Gemmer Hawken. It looks the same as the Lyman GPR. Now I don't know if the quality is the same or not. But I've had other Investarms produced rifles in the past that were not sold under Lyman and I was never disappointed.
