Here is a unique set of components inspired by the early German settlers, with gun making skills, starting out in their new home here in the colonies. This is the Famous “Jeager Hunting Gun” that was previously only available for use by wealthy land barons who not only owned the land, but everything on it as well. It was a newfound freedom to be able to provide for and protect your family and property with your very own weapon, designed what they were still familiar with. These fine guns eventually morphed into transitional style guns and eventually became the “Kentucky Rifle” we know today. Here is where it all started. These Jeager rifles were so well designed to accomplish their task that they remain a favorite to this day.
They are defined by:
- A short barrel for lighter weight and ease of handling in tough brush.
- Swamped barrel profile for better balance.
- Large caliber for large game. (bear, elk, bison, wolves, deer)
- Double set trigger for better accuracy
- Simple but stylish Germanic trim like the original.
- American Black Walnut stocks for strength
- Sliding wood patch box for patches, picks, jag, flints & possibles.
