A .54 caliber New Englander would be an excellent rifle. You could hunt deer with roundball and larger things like moose and bear with a maxiball. Of courseI like the .54 caliber in traditional rifles much more then the .50. It just seems a better pick. And I am not doubting or trying to start something with .50 caliber traditional shooter. I own a bunch of .50 caliber as well. Its just the roundball is 30% larger and so when you shoot 100 yards and under, your putting that much more energy and lead into them. I like their killing power.

The price of that rifle might be very fair since he is including accessories. As many of us are well aware, you get the rifle and then half as much again on just the stuff to make it shoot...
