I have never hunted using black powder, butseveral friendskeeps begging me to give it a try. I don't want to throw a whole lot of cash in case it isn't for me. Can I get a decent gun for $200?
I paid $279 for my mossy oak/nickel Optima. I think the black with the blued barrel will get you close to $200. If I had to do it over again, my experience with black powder and nickel don't mix when trying to keep the finish clean.
