Default RE: Looking to buy Muzzleloader

If you are looking for a flintlock and not an in-line,check out the Traditions Pa Pellet.It's priced very low,but has some inovations that will take the other manufacturers some time to catch up with.Not only does it have an oversized pan and flash hole,which enables it to shoot pellet loads,with the quicker ignition,but it also has a removable breech plug for THOROUGH,no mess,quick cleaning.It also sports an adjustable trigger,but mine came out of the box at 5 pounds,which is ideal for me.
It comes standard with true-glo fibre optic sites and swivels and a 1 in 48 twist 26" octagon barrel which shoot magnum loads up to 150 grain BP,pyrodex,triple 7,etc.,in powdered or pelletized loads.
I paid $185 for mine in a kit which included some accessories,gun was completely assembled.
They do also have a model with camo stock,nickel barrel which is slightly higher in price,but a great looking firearm.
Dick's has the camo model regular priced at $229.00 on sale here for $199.00.
Info on this rifle is available on the Traditions website,along with downloads of their manuals,although their prices are high end.
It is a sweet shooting,no frills smoke pole,very accurate,I may add.
Even with my eyes,I get consistent groups of 2" at 150 yards,with open sights,shooting 90 grains 777 pellets and power belt 295 grain bullets.
