RE: Redefining muzzleloaders?
Here in Wa state, ML hunting regs say no optics, action (meaning caps) exposed to weather (no omegas, disc rifles and the like), only all lead projectiles (sabots are ok), no shotgun primers, only one barrel of a dblbrl loaded. Only a few years ago did they let us start to use fiber optic sights. I dont think the Electra would be permited. All of this I am ok with, but I like the primitive weapons season to me just that. I would like it if we went back to traditional style sidehammers and flintlocks. To me if you want a scoped gun get out your 06 and hunt that way. Electrical ignition is what they use in modern gatlings and such. I don't think every modern inovation should be applied to ML hunting just it can be. This all started with Hawkens and Pennsylvannia long rifles and I think we should maintain some of that heritage.
