I managed to procure my first White Rifles LLC muzzleloading rifle from a less-than-well-known classified ad. A buddy of mine "passed" on buying it and allowed me to purchase it (thanks 'Powder! ).
I am a sucker for "bull" barrels on guns of any kind....so I bought a .504" White Bison. I did not know much about the White Bison so I e-mailed "Doc" White for any information he could provide. Here is what he said:
"Produced 1994, 2000 made, usually exceptionally accurate. You can get bullets fron No Excuses Bullets on the web. I have never, no never, taken one in on tade for another rifle. Folks seem to keep them,. You have a jewel on your hands. DOC"
Pretty cool I thought. Anyway, the Bison is about 99% IMO and has a little surface rust on the exterior. The bore is 100% with no pitting I can see. The barrel crown looks like a Wilson barrel design with the recessed target crown. The stock is a stippled black paint over what appears to be a molded urethane of some sort or another.
I cleaned up the Bison with P-B Blaster on the metal surfaces and wiped it down. After deer season ends in Indiana, it looks like a teflon Black Ice Coating is in the Bison's future with a Camo-Solutions camouflage treatment on the stock with the textured Quiet Grip for the best purchase in my hands.
All-in-all, I am quite happy with my new-to-me White Bison and will be shooting some 500-grain and 600-grain copper gas-checked conicals in the near future. We will see how she shoots.
