Welcome to the site.

What part of Mass are you from? I was born and brought up in Springfield.

20 Miles west of Boston.
A small town called Acton.

welcome to the forum. Good to have you here.

Glad to be here.
Looking forward to getting my 1st black powder rifle.
Limited funds, any suggestions?

Give us a price range.

Do you want an older style sidelock, or a modern inline?

The inline will be more user friendly for someone new.

$200 is about all I can do right now.
Might have to get a used one.

Used will get you a better gun. You have a few options new. Some will recommend the CVA Wolf. They sell for under $200. I'd rather see you get a TC gun. The TC Impact is a nice gun to start off with, but it's $250.

See what the other guys say here. They might have some used guns for sale. Check the classified section here too.

Welcome. I just puchased a Knight Vision from The Sportsmans Guide. They are offering free shipping or $20.00 off coupons right now. I can't tell you how good it shoots because it's in the mail and on it's way to me. But I haven't read any bad reviews on it. The lowest cost model without a scope is $169.97 before any discounts or shipping.

Thanks,
I will check out TC and Knight Vision.
Problem is that Sportsmans Guide will not ship to Massachusetts.
Guns or Broad heads and most Knives.
