Default RE: Flintlock Choices

ORIGINAL: Buck Hunter 1

Been rolling around the idea of getting a FL. I see them anywhere from $100 camo synthetics on up in price. I see them in 45,50,54 and bigger. I will use the gun for deer hunting only in late December early January only, which is cold and can be damp w/ snow.Probably shoot some fun target rounds.
At this time shots will be in the 50-75 yard range and Flintlock muzzleloader hunters may use "any single projectile," including sabots, and mini and maxi balls.
The old FL guys in my camp have died off and the younger/new guys (including me) shoot inlines only. I need help on adecsion that will not break the bank but I can use and depend on for the years to come. I need an outfit to hunt w/ in PA flintlock season. Thanks in advance for your help! This a MM are great BP sites for information.
I hunt PA FL season and I hunt with at TC Hawken Fl 50 cal. If I were doing it again I would buy a 54 if I was gonna shoot round balls. I kept my 50 and switch to Speer Gold Dot 300g with 80g of Goex. Shoot beautiful to 50-70 yards, open sights. TC has LIFETIME replacement of anything that breaks or fumbles, no questions asked. That is a HUGE amen in the late season, snow and weather take a toll on a good rifle.
