Well I've asked around and narrowed my choices down to 2for a gun to use in the Southern Tier of NY. (Can't use a centerfire in this region)A slug gun or a TC Omega. What would you use? The extended blackpowder season is not a big deal to me, butease of use, and acccuracy are. I know that the muzzleloader is more accurate, butI like the repeat shots available with the slug gun. I just wish I had money for both, that way I would have the best of both worlds. BTW, I've never used a ML before, but use rifles and shoyguns regularly. I also have 4 boxes of remington buckhammers sitting on the shelf. (From a previous attempt of sighting an Ithacaslug barrel for my Benelli Nova, didn't work out because the cantilever rail was mounted on the barrel crooked[:@])
