I am looking to get a black powder rife. I have used a friends CVA but that is all.

Is there a source I can go to read up more on the sport that any of you would recommend?

Also, is there a place that compares the various brands and styles? I used a CVA in-line that a borrowed from a friend but I had heard about Knights, Traditions, Thomson Center, etc. Is there someplace I can go to compare the guns. I like a good quality, accurate, hunting tool whether it be a bow or rife. I don't care much about brand names, or the latest gadgets. I use a middle of the line PSE Edge for bow hunting and Remington 700 for rifle hunting. I don't want the cheapest, but I do not want to have to upgrade in a few years because I bought junk.

Any help would be appreciated.
