RE: new to black powder. Please help!
T/C is a real good gun,best warrenty in the field.that was my first B/P gun.
it just depends on how much you want to spend.
Bass Pro has a CVA mag-bolt 150 on sale,it has everything you need to get started,except powder.even a scope for the gun.they are $199.95 plus tax.
I have two of them and they are pretty good guns also,I have taken 5 deer with mine,out to about 130 yards.
traditions also has a good gun,look into them.
good luck on what you buy.
