RE: help me choose my first muzzleloader
I just bought a Traditions yukon. It was around $200 with starter package at walmart. The package included a 4x scope, short starter, and a few other odds and ends. For the price it is a great little gun. 9 shots at 50 yards yielded 7 touching in a big hole. It really liked the sabots that came in the starter kit and also shot t/c cheap shots really well, but not as good. It has an interesting action, similar to a rolling block, traditions calls it a drop breach.
Well worth the money.
