As I said, I’m new to the sport so I’m not even sure what in-line really means but I know it’s an older muzzle loader and he did have problems with it last year.
I will check into the Savage models and would like to get the S/S with the laminated stock, if it’s aloud in this area. I’m pretty sure it is or they wouldn’t offer it. I do however have a scope sitting at home just waiting to be used...
gleason, I’m situated north of the border so MB is Manitoba ( Canada )
Thanks for all the info so far and sounds like the Savage is the way to go...
Great. I have the following on my Savage:
Warne Rings
Weaver Bases
Bushnell Elite 3200 3x4 Firefly Scope with rainguard
Savage Sling
You can see what I have here:

For bullets I tried 9 different bullets in my gun, two shot very tight groups, the TC SW 300g and the Parker Ballistic Extreme 275g, see this for details of each bullet shot.

If I were you, since there is not much time to hunting season, this year I would use the Hornady XTP Mag 300g with 44g of 5744, they are a book load (i.e in the manual). Hope that helps get you where you wanna be.
