I went with the flinlock. I have pretty much quit shooting my CF rifles since i found or started ML. Inline and flinty are one shot chances. I changed the way I hunt.

My favorite has always been the longbow.That said the last few years I hunted mostly with my 7x57 only and this year I'll be hunting with a compound,ML, and my new .280.

None of the above, although I've hunted deer with a compound, flintlock, modern rifle, shotgun and handgun.

My favorites are old rifles with iron sights, mostly lever actions. They're the only firearms I use, if I'm hunting doe in firearms season.

Denny, I think an iron sited, lever action rifle would fit the definition of a modern centerfire rifle.
