I'm looking into purchasing my first muzzleloader but I'm not very familiar with all the choices out there. I've been looking hard at getting either a CVA Wolf or a Remington Genesis. I've read good reviews on both but I still have a couple concerns. I like the Wolf but am concerned about the plastic sights, a salesman was telling me that in cold weather they tend to crack and easily break and hunting in northern MN this is a big concern during ml season. I really like the remington but its a little more pricey and I just don't know if I want to spend that much if the Wolf will perform just as good.Being a college student I would like to spend as little as possible whilestill getting a reliable gun. So could anyone help me out with this or suggest any other ml's that I should be looking at? The gun will be for deer hunting in MN where scopes are illegal.

Thanks a lot,
Joe
