RE: What's the best choice for a muzzle loader that will last a lifetime?
Can't beat the TCor Knight. I have a TC that's 15 years old and it is my main hunting rifle (Thurndhawk). It's blued and has a composite stock. My partner has a knight about the same age and it still shoots great and has never broken a part. Just take care of them and they will last a lifetime. I fully anticipate using my Thunderhawk until I can't hunt anymore.
