As you all know, I have the TC Woods Rifle and Omega. I don't really need the Woods rifle but have kept it so far because it wouldn't sell for much.
If you had both of those guns, would you try and sell the Woods Rifle and get a traditional percussion? Lately I've been interested in the traditionals.I have a great inline now(Omega) so do you think I should try and get a traditional in exchange for that Woods Rifle? I don't need the Woods Rifle but it would be nice to have an old style. That wayI would have both the old and new forms.
I know it's up to me but what would you do in my shoes? Keep two inlines or trade one for an old percussion reproduction? I could maybe get a fair trade at a pawn shop or something.I only paid $110 for it new. Are there any traditionals for close to that price? I would like something like the TC Hawken. Thanks for the help.
Keep both guns for a friend to use (your young so you have many friend who are not into MLing, I am sure), or put fibre optic open sights on the Woods rifle and use it for not so good days with a scope (I am doing that with my Knight Disc). Buy a TC FL, mine works great and you can't beat their Warranty. If you want percussion instead of FL, William's Gun Sight Company has two TC Renegades, one for $149 and one for $175. Google Williams Gun Sight Company, oh when you order the rifle order sights from them. They make great open sights. Just my opinion.

PS. If you have a "less fortunate friend" or somebody that loves hunting and doesn't have a rifle, you can think about giving itto them----that would be tremendous encouragement to a young hunter (think how you felt when you got your omega--that is how he will feel--then train him how to shoot it--and buy the ammo). "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks"...says the scripture, so let your heart speak. Just a thought, so you have "options".
