Ok,heres the deal.I'm looking into buying each of my sons a new
inline rifle for the early season in PA..So I am talking 4 rifles now.
Of all the brands and makes out there,which do you all think is
the best,eaisest to load,easiest to clean,most accurate and one
that will shoot just about anything you feed it...Will be wanting
to scope each one as well...I have plenty of Goex 2 F on hand,so
there is no need to be searching for powder to use...Thanks
johnny2 - I'm not an inline fan but if I were to pick one it would probably be the Knight KP7 or the T/C Triumph. Personally however I would recommend a T/C Hawken or Renegade percussion. That would give them the same 'feel' as the one they used during the flintlock season (if you hunt it). If not you can buy a flintlock and a drop in barrel and change the percussion cap version over to a flintlock in a manner of minutes. Or, if they have a T/C or Lyman flintlock already you can change it over to a percussion.

Could you give us a liile more back ground on your boys - age - how big are they
What type of contry you hunt (Thick - Open HW - Fields ) average yds Shots are looking at ECT.

Four at one time? May as well go with the Wolf. You could have a nice wolf pack.

If you want ML'ers that will shoot almost everything thats put down the bore, CVA,Traditions,Knight would be the best way to go. Lets not forget Winchester either.

He could buy Mustangs and have a small herd...
A lot would depend on the size, build, and age of the boys. Some boys have longer arms, more stocky builds, etc. Also where you hunt. But a do it all rifle from what I have read, I do not think you would go wrong with the KRB7 Rolling Block. From all reports, they are easy to clean, shoulder well, not too heavy, will shoot about anything you stuff down them, and most of all safe. With the two safety's on them, that is something to always keep in mind when the boys are together.

Dont know how old your sons are but I set up a cva wolf for afriend of mines son. Took only 2 shots to get it on paper at 50yds and the next 3 were 1'' group with a scope. For the price they seem like nice shooters and had a good feel to it. Kerry
A CVA Wolf would be a good startup MZ for them. The only thing with them is the sites are not that great. I ended up putting a scope on mine anyway so the sites didn't bother me. I haven't found anything yet it won't shoot well with loose powderor pellets.
