Default RE: Advice On Muzzleloader?

Tradition's is a good rifle, but give us a price range and you might be surprised what we can find for you that is better quality. For instance, Natchez.Com has an excellent sale on Knight Rifles. Say what you want but a Green Mountain Barrel and Timney trigger for $150.00 is hard to beat...

I have not heard any reports too terrible about a Tradition's E-Bolt but you need to get to a sporting good store and handle and shoulder some different rifles. See what fits you and what you like for features. With the price of some of the break opens right now, they might be a better way to go.

I heard that Bass Pro was selling a Beartooth Magnum for $99.00. That is almost the same thing as a dressed down Optima by CVA. Same company makes both rifles and the barrels are interchangable.

Also the Tasco World Class Scope used to be a good scope but they have some problems for late reports on them. If your going with that set up be sure the store has a good return policy......

Anyway, let us know what kind of money you have to spend and see what the forum can come up with for you.... That is the beauty of them... If you don't like the suggestions then get your Traditions. And good luck.
