RE: t/c black diamond xr
I have a Black Diamond XR. Is it hard to clean? Well it is a muzzleloader. They are all bears to clean. Some are easier then others. I guess once you get the hang of it and learn all the things that need to be done the cleaning goes much faster. I am sure there are easier muzzleloaders out there to clean.
It is a great shooting rifle... I have a 1.4 X 4.5 power Bushnell Dusk to Dawn scope on mine and it is one accurate shooting rifle. It also has the T/C warranty which is always worth something. You have a problem and they are there to help...
If I had to do it all over again I would have saved a little more and went with the Omega, but actually I am happy with the Black Diamond XR.
