I first got into muzzleloading with an inline because I didn't know if I was going to enjoy it. Well now I'm seeing myself wanting a flintlock. I was thinking of a percussion, but they seem too much like an inline. A flintlock would be more of a challenge, but I know that I would enjoy every second of it. What should I get? I was thinking about a kit form, but I'm not sure. Some of the other forums say to buy a Lyman Great Plains. I like Thompson Center, but for a flintlock it will run anywhere from $600 to $700. I don't want to go cheap, however I don't want the wife to kick me out of the house. The kit would save me roughly $100 dollars. Is it worth it? I see that Cabelas has a Hawken kit. Alot of people say to stay away from them. Traditions is kinda cheap and some people say they are the bottom of the barrel. So I'm just looking for ideas. I have the time for the kit cause I wouldn't want to hunt with it until next season 2011.
