Welcome to the board Leesburgturkey,I' ve never looked at the Winchester. I either read or heard somewhere that the Winchesters were made by Traditions.I would check the gun out more before buying one.There are so many proven muzzleloaders out I would go after one of them., T/C ,Knight, Ruger,CVA to name a few.If they are indeed made by Traditions they are probably a good gun.
Ruger Redhawk
