Default Buying one Monday

If you were going to buy a new Black Powder today, what would you purchase? Also what scope would you put on it?

I really like my Encore P-H. I would like it to cost less, but I am very happy with it.
Nikon Prostaff 3-9x.

Let's face it- there are several great choices for you to consider.

Myself, I would buy the Savage 10ML. It will shoot both blackpowder and smokeless. Top it off with a Nikon scope.

I agree. The perfect setup. Exactly what I have and my favorite inline. Of course I'm liking my 54 Lyman GPH more and more.

I love my Encore and all the aftermarket goodies you can by for them sooooo I would buy the Encore Pro Hunter and I would buy a Nikon Scope like I have now... but WITHOUT the BDC.
