1863 Remington Zouave
« on: July 03, 2009, 12:30:24 AM »
Anybody own one of these superb muzzleloaders?
Better yet, does anyone have a period correct scope attached to one?
I'd like to hear what you think.

I have a EuroArms Zouave that I use for the N-SSA musket matches.  While not up there quality-wise with Pedersoli or the Zoli's of a few years back, I am very satisfied with mine.  Though I'm having one heck of a time getting it to hit anything at 100 yds, at 50 yds it's very accurate.  Seems the sights were more than a bit off.  Usually, the N-SSA skirmishers that shoot them put new sights on them anyways.  I use the Hogdon North-South Skirmish bullet (.578, 414 grn) and it punches nice neat holes in the target every time, no keyholing. If you don't mind having to fiddle with it for a while fine tuning the accuracy, then by all means get one.  As for a scope, I've never seen or heard of one with a scope mounted on it.

Oh, but what a sight that would be! 8)
