I just got back from Walmart and you are absolutely correct. It was an Optima. Good thing too. I was going to buy another muzzle loader I really didn't need. So I walked out...After cleaning the shelf of those $11.97 packs of 30 count Thompson Center Mag Express sabot/240 grain XTP's. Oh, and a $44.97 Thompson Center 3x9x40mm scope, rings and base package.So I guess I saved myself about $130.00. The scope is going on the .54 cal. Traditions side lock kit when I finish building it.
