RE: which one should I use?
 
Hi,

indyhunter83, my optima pro has a 29 inch barrell, regular optima has a 26 inch barrell and the Kodiak has a 28 inch barrell. I have not really shot none of the guns except for the optima pro which was like a year ago and it was just shooting it off for the heck of it. anyhow good suggestion I more then likely will be hunting kind of regular woods pretty much. So I will try each gun out and see what I come up with. Now the regular optima has a scope I just purchased its a bushnell trophy I do beleave it was like around a hundred bucks I got it for 40 bucks but is new found a guy who had it and never got around to using it. anyhow I picked this regular optima up off my brother he purchased new and shot only three shots through. I plan on using Hornady xtp sabot's I dont like powerbelts worse bullet in my mind. two years ago I was using a optima and it loved the hornady sabot's 300 grain dropped my deer right where it stood. The seem to work nicely for me,(not sure on this gun yet) so anyhow I guess I will take them all to the range and see what goes on I guess and let you know what I decide thanks for your time and help and everyone else's...........SHaun

Flip a coin..........? I'd imagine any of the three will get the job done. How does each one pattern? Which one are you more confident with? Pick the best shooter of the bunch and go for it.
Yeah! Mox Nix what you use, they're all the same anyway. What you really need is a godd, large-caliber flintlock! At least a 20-bore, rifled or smooth. A nice Baker would serve you well.......
