I would like to get into muzzleloader hunting next year. Theres so many choices. I having been reading about it but I know very little. Could you tell me what style you like/dislike and why ( break action bolt,ect.)? Any other info would be greatly appreciated? Thanks, Brad
We need to know some things, like:
1) what state are you in?
2) hunting primarily woods or open fields?
3) wanna use a scope?
4) do you like traditional rifles (flintlocks and sidelocks)?
5) do you intend to hunt a lot with a MLer?
6) with this be a lifetime purchase or will you maybe buy another gun?
7) how much do you wanna spend? On gun? On Scope? In general you can get a good gun for $300 and a good scope for $200. So tell us a little about yourself and we can help a bit better.
