I recommend the NEF Sidekick, T/C Omega, Knight Revolution, or any other muzzleloader made by these companies. Shoot as many of them as you can and hold and handle them. Decide for yourself which is best for you. If you buy agood brand, however,you will not be disappointed. I think that these companies mentioned are much better than Winchester. I love Winchester's guns but not their muzzleloaders.Good luck. Over and out.
