Mountaineer Magic,

Thanks for your theory! I googled "how to buy a used muzzleloader" and stumbled onto this forum.

I hunt in Maryland, which has a great early muzzleloader (season in two weeks), and the regular shotgun season isn't until the rut is just about over, at the end of November.

Which brings me to my question... Does anyone have an inexpensive/reliable muzzleloader and scope that they would like to sell? I'm partial to a wooden stock, but not going to be picky!

Any advice about models is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Rob
