Cayugad - I feel your pain. Every year for the past 35 or so I have always gotten a new rifle in the spring time. It sort of makes my life complete. Last year wasthe first spring since Nixon was president that I didn'thave a new gun to play with. Didn't really need anything. Money was a little tight. It was a lousy spring []

Now I don't have anywhere near your muzzleloading collection, but I am planning to order one of the new T/C Encore Pro Hunters as soon as they are available in the dealer catalogs - which is supposed to be in about a month. Will probably be on this board shortly thereafter trying to avoid my life partner's wrath; but sometimes you just gotta get a new gun
