But I'm sorry but I do have to say something about your comment about not using it in PA except maybe for doe. That comment makes one think you believe a doe's life is not equal to that of a buck's! I don't think that's what you meant at all but that's what it sounds like.
But in any event, IMO either rifle is easily capable of a clean humane kill up to 100 yards and beyond.
Growing up using flintlocks and patch round balls. I learned to shoot with a delay. Also many years later I learned to not have delays with them either. But anytime you have a delay you risk the gun not actually going off as well. So I don't have a problem with a possible delay shooting any animal. Been there done that. But I do have a problem with Buck hunting and the gun doesn't go off. Doe hunting I could care less if it doesn't go off. But the easiest solution is sight in a T/C Strike, or a Triumph, or another Ultralite, or maybe a Vision, or even a 50cal Disc Elite, or maybe a Nula, just way to many options to worry about misfires or delays.
