I'm new to this forum, spending most of my time on the traditional bowhunting forum. I want to start taking advantage of the gun and muzzleloading season, but prefer to use a traditional muzzleloader. Here's where my questions begin. I'm currently considering a Cabela's traditional Hawken rifle or Cabela's Blue Ridge rifle.

Are these rifles worth considering?? What do I need to get started??

I probably should have mentioned I will use this rifle for deer and hog here in south TX.

Thanks,
Dave
