I am wanting to get another muzzleloader next year. another inline, a break open, roll back (yes sabotloader the KRB is on the top of my list), a flint, or percussion.
if I got a flint or percussion, it would just be shoot for fun, and a min of a 1 in 48 twist.
reason I am asking now. to start saving the money for it.
I bought a new (to me) used FL from Gun Broker.com in Jan 2006 for $300 shipped. Gun new is $500. Cabelas Hawken is nice. I recommend a Hawken or Renegade with a double set trigger, the double set trigger gives you accuracy and very light trigger pull (so called hair trigger). I shot mine yesterday at 50 yards with open sights. I had to put new open sights on it, but they are fun to shoot also, with real BP.
As for an "inline", to me accuracy is king, so I like the Savage for that. But that gun is $550 in Stainless with a tupperware stock. Scope is $200. Smokeless powder is about the same a 777, but you get 2x the shots with smokeless. It is designed around the 250 and the 300g XTP, so they are inexpensive bullets. The Triumph is next below the Savage, but that is an expensive gun also, but looks so simple to clean. Best Wishes.
