Hi everyone - new to the board. Looking at purchasing a new flintlock for target shooting fun and use in the PA late season when I visit for the holidays. Been eyeing up the TC Renegade from TC Custom and the TC Hawken. Difference in price appears to be about $80-100. Differences in the rifles other than the brass that I can see in pictures are slightly shorter/thicker barrel on Renegade and a difference in stock configuration. Laying your hands on a flinter here in SW OH seem to be next to impossible. What are your experiences with each? Fit, comfort, pleasure of shooting? I believe a number of posters say they sometimes get smacked on the cheek from their renegade? Or should I scrap this and look at the Lyman Trade Rifle for much less in price. Need a rifle with the best chance for success with a lot of self teaching and help from boards like this. Sorry I started to ramble. Thanks
