RE: New (Idaho Legal) Muzzleloader
ORIGINAL: Yoter Well, I drew an elk tag here in Idaho. Now I have to figure out what I am going to shoot. I have a Knight Bighorn which as it stands is no longer legal in Idaho ML seasons because it doesn't have a pivoting hammer. I am debating on trying to modify it so that it is legal or just bite the bullet and get a new gun that is legal. If I do decide to get a new one, what do you guys reccomend I look at? Remember it will have to have a pivoting hammer and be able to shoot conicals effectively. Percussion cap or musket ignition only. I'd like to get it through Cabelas since I have a bunch of gift cards I've been saving up for a while. How much do you think my Bighorn would sell for? It is stainless with black synthetic stock. Thanks in advance. http://www.cherrys.com/ped_rif2.htm I don't think you can go wrong for $225 fora new gun. Cayugund said they were good shooters. It would work in Idaho, since it is exposed hammer, with Caps (CCI). Chap Gleason |

Yoter: try http://www.dnrsports.com/acatalog/Lyman_Muzzleloaders.html
ORIGINAL: Yoter So I called Cabelas and they have a GPH in 50 cal for 530 and a 54 cal for 500. Which way would you guys lean? I will primarily be hunting elk and shooting conicals. Of course I still need to get one in my hands and compare to some others. Will there be any appreciable differences is velocity between the sporterized hawken carbine with 1:32 twist and the GPH with the longer barrel? |
