I picked up my 62 cal. Centimark fusil today! I can not wait to take her to the range.

Very nice gun Renegade!  i have to ask how is the accuracy in a smoothbore gun?The history channel and other programs try to make it seem as if these guns are extremely inaccurate.I personally believe they are exaggerating.

Nice looking gun Renegade. I know I really like my 62 and I'm looking to get a second one in the near future.

Issac, They are not as accurate as rifles. this is my first smoothie so I have a lot to learn. from what I hear is they are pretty good out to 60 yds, I hear some claim that they can get out to 100 yds fairly concistent, which is perfect for my style of hunting, I like to get close to the game I'm hunting. I also plan on using it for turkey.

Issac, They are not as accurate as rifles. this is my first smoothie so I have a lot to learn. from what I hear is they are pretty good out to 60 yds, I hear some claim that they can get out to 100 yds fairly consistent, which is perfect for my style of hunting, I like to get close to the game I'm hunting. I also plan on using it for turkey.

I have seen and handled smoothbores that are incredibly accurate considering that the RB coming out of the barrel isn't spinning.  Just the other day I was at Stormrider51's place casting some RB and checking out his new smoothy.  We had set up a target at about 25 yards and I managed to hit a little low but on the bullseye shooting offhand.  It also patterned pretty well using some #8 shot that he scavenged from an unused .410 shell.

You'll just have to tell us how she shoots, which I hope is as good as she looks.

Just what I need, something else to drool over & wish I had. That's a fine looking piece.

that brings back memories !  mine would produce five shot groups at 50 yards about the size of a silver dollar , and at 25 yard five shot one hole groups were a common thing ! one gun I really wish I`d kept !
