Why don't you offer to cut your grandfathers lawn for the summer and see if he will give you his??? LOL...I wouldn't try to go too cheap...as a matter of fact the Optima Pro would be about as cheap as I'd go....It makes me nervous to realize that every time you load a muzzleloader you are basically making a bomb....holding it in your hands...next to your face and exploding it....

OK...Now that I have your attention...Wall Mart sells the Omegas for $269...
Being a younger lad...you could buy this, use it the first year without a scope and add a scope the second year...I bought a Knight Disc on sale in 1996...thats 10 years ago...and paid just $20 less than the Omega sells for today....Sure...its a black stock and black barrel...but if you keep it cleaned and oiled...it will last along time...My Knights barrel still looks like new (on the inside) and it will group with the best of them...

Also...there have been some great deals lately on the Internet on Knights...
some people like an Omega better (I could debate that), but...Knights are still a great rifle, shoot good...just takes a little longer to clean them...
Cayugard usually knows who has the best deals...he stole a Knight Disc awhile back.....Good Luck....

PS...I was just yanking your chain on cutting your grandads lawn....but who knows....It might work...might even talk him into letting you hunt his stand opening day....Thats what grandads are for...
