Hey MJR10,
Take a look at www.hr1871.com. That is NEF & HR web site. Click on Catalog and take a look at the Huntsman. It is inexpensive and a good shooting muzzleloader from all reports. I have one on order from Wal-Mart and the price is under $150. Leaves you some bucks for accessories, scope, mounts etc. It is easy to take apart and clean. Go to the Talk Forum and you can read up on what owners are saying, the good and the bad. You can use up to 100 gr.of Pyrodex, its not one of those magnum shooters but, you dont have to use any more than that anyway. Reports are that this ML likes 70 to 80 gr. of 777 also. Go over to Thompson Center and CVA sites also. Look around and enjoy[size=2][/size[font=" Arial" ][/font
