Also, I don't know about everyone's guns but mine came with a straight slot screw driver touch hole.
You have two types of hunting.

The traditional primitive hunting that I feel should be 100% primitive. PRB, black powder, primitive sights etc.

Then you have modern ML hunting. That would be inlines, sabots, sub powders, 209 primers, scopes etc.

What rubs me the wrong way is to mix them up. Putting scope on a sidelock, sabots in a flintlock, sub powder in sidelocks, etc.

They're both fine, and have their place, but do one or the other.

Just my .02, so no insults please.
