Not true Sportsman. Every muzzleloader I own is heavier than my heaviest CF rifle. My new Knight Disk Extreme with the Mountaineer barrel is a beast. I have to weigh it but I bet its close to 9 lb. with the scope.
The reason I may take out one of the lever guns is just for nostalgic purposes. Be nice using an old rifle with bullets I cast and loaded myself.
