RE: looking to buy?

I agree with the above. A Lyman Deer Stalker-Flintlock design. Tom.

Just took a picture of my Deerhunter. The wooden ramrod that came with it broke many years back so I customized a camo Easton arrow shaft to do the job. It looks very simmilar to the picture that you posted esp. with the octagon barrel.

Now that I am shooting on a regular basis, I would like to broaden the experience. I have been toying with the idea of something a little more traditional and maybe a percussion would be the next purchase. Any suggestions that won't break the bank? I think I would like a shorter barrel, light weight and primarily shoot round balls.

Any suggestions on what would be good to get started?

Old Learnin' Rookie,
Look at the TC here:

they have a couple as low as $120. 3 days to fire it and see if you want it. Good company.

The Savage ML10 is possibly the best factory muzzleloaderanywhere. Offers the option of using smokeless powder for little or no messy clean-up and stronger loads if you want. Typically comes with 1 1/2" or better 100 yd accuracy out of the box and is priced about with the TC Omega. Costs more than your CVAs, but it is one heck of a good piece of equipment.

Thanks sharp shooter. In doing some reading up on these things, some have leaf spring lock vs coil spring. Any preference one way or another? One easier to maintain or have longer life? How easy are these thinks to break down?

Leaf Spring VS Coil Springs.. I have rifles with both kinds. I do not have a preference. They both work fine.

Wow, great rifle for $330. I have heard that these are great rifles in either FL or Percussion, definitely cheaper than a TC by $200.

I would agree with you 100%, you have options with this rifle.

Have you thought about caliber? I would go with the 54cal if I were you.
