I'm surprised by the title: I thought you said the one you tested spoke Bulgarian or something else, not Espagnol? I guess I'll just have to watch it over again. [Like I wasn't going to end up doing so anyway! 🤣 ]

Damn it! Now I'm looking at Peabodys for sale on auction sites...

I am in disagreement with the choice of the RRB over the Peabody unless there is an action-strength issue, assuming that both rifles are in identical cartridge chambering. In my younger years, I owned a RRB musket, complete with bayonet, chambered in 7mm (7X57) and found it fun to use, but tedious to operate. Wish that I'd had a Peabody as well.

That's interesting: Peabody was an early Girls' STEM proponent.
