Lyman Mustang Breakaway 209 magnum ML

[ricoh]

Greetings . I just joined today. Seems like a nice site. I was wondering if anyone has seen, shot or know anything about the new Lyman 209. I was wondering about barrel quality ,trigger etc... Just got back from the gun shop. They got 3 in and sold them all the same day. I did not get to see one. Guy at the shop said they looked really nice and seemed well built.

I use to have a Lyman Great Plains rifle that was a very good shooter, they make a good product. I'm not terribly familiar with the Mustang but I do like the break away action. This puts support behind the breach plug and if ever a mishap were to occur, the breach plug is less apt to be blown back toward the shooter. She carries a 1 in 28 twist, I'd like to have 1 in 22 or 24 but she'll more than likely do well out to 100 yards. In fact a 1 in 28 twist is less likely to have the sabot wad strip over the riffling with a heavy charge. I would go with the stainless steel barrel, it's a little less likely to corrode and at $300 I don't think you can go wrong.
