new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

2 weeks ago i ordered a remington genesis blued barrel and camo stock. $145 through cabelas. $35 mail in rebate. it was back ordered 4-5 weeks which kind of bummed me out. saturday i logged onto cabelas to check my order status. nothing changed so i started checking out the other muzzleloaders. this is what i found. $200 with $35 mail in rebate. it goes with out saying i ordered it immediately and cancelled my other order.

Very nice! You should have gotten it for even less than that considering their $30 off any orders over $150 deal.

This is the one my wife is getting me for Christmas... Remington Genesis Buckmasters Edition

Shaggy I did the same thing on Saturday I was also concerned that due to the backorder on the others we might not get them in time to take advantage of the rebate. The other Genesis as you know was in stock and a real value as well. Did you also take advantage of Cabelas $30.00 back on a $150.00 order? The two combined gave you $65.00 off. [&:]

You guys are gun buying crazy.. I mean I am scared to even mention new rifles anymore.. :D:D:D That's a beautiful rifle. I like that. One of these days I am going to get a thumbhole style stock.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

That is a beauty and that is a great price. Chap

I got an e-mail from Cabelas this morning mine was shipped on Monday and should be here Thursday. Dont you just love it when Santa arrives early in his little brown truck. Cayuqad I may even leave him some cookies and milk by the door. [8D]HO HO HO

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

So you got the Genesis? What's your first impression?

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

its a cool looking gun. thats all i have for now. i have no experience with a ml. so thats all i can go by for now. the price was right also.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

Thanks! Post some pics when you get a chance.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

Ordered mine last saturday and was at my doorstep late this afternoon. It sure is a purdy lookin thing.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

here ya go.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

HAHA! I meant pictures of your actual rifle. So we can see what the finish looks like. I've been told that the finish is a little different than that in the pic you posted.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

Interseting note on the laminate one. I ordered one of them last week at a price of $279. It arrived on Thur if I recall. Sat they dropped the price to the current $199. I called them this morning and asked if they would give me the difference since I just ordered it a few days prior to them dropping the price. She said "Sure, we can do that.Thatwasjust bad timing on your part." She's now sending me a gift card for the difference. That's dandy customer service in my opinion!

I am wondering if you have ever used a thumb hole stock much. There are two notable things about them, most [ there are exceptions to any thing like this] people can actually shoot noticeably better off hand with one and they are a bit more awkward in the field since you can not conveniently carry the over your forearm.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

I have shot thumbhole stock rifles but do not own one... Actually they do not appeal to me. But I am sure I could get to like them. I handled a Optima the other day with a thumbhole stock and it felt kind of strange. But I could have got used to it if they dropped the price a little..

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

Is the reciever made of a composite or is it metal?
Wonder why it's not stainless as well?

Nice looking rifles and the prices are great

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

The receiver is metal. Not sure what though.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

Who is manufacturing the rifle?? Tom.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

The Genesis is made by Traditions.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

Yup, and it's got one of those dangerous Spanish barrels.... Even though I've never heard of one blowing up.....

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

BARRELS BLOWING UP!!!!!!!!. please tell methat's not true. i am VERY new to muzzleloaders, a barrel blowing up in my face would really turn me off to muzzleloading.

ps. i don't have any decent pictures of the actual gun yet. i can't seem to find the camera. i think my wife has it at work.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

The Genesis is under the Remington name, imported through Traditions. So technicallyyes it is a Traditions. As for the barrel blowing up.. I would not get too excited. Granted every time we load these rifles, we are technically making a pipe bomb that will fail (we hope). That's why you never plug the end of your barrel with anythingbecause then they do not fail. Load the rifle according to manufacturer's recommendations and with common sense and you will be fine.

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

The receiver is some sort of lighter alloy - probably (hopefully) has a lot of aluminum in it. The finish on the receiver is horrible. Looks nice when shiny new. Looks terrible after it suffers wear and scratches. Black Ice or Duracoat would probably/maybe work well on it. :D

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

Cayugad works for Cabelas under the radar:D Heck he could retire on the commissions from the Genesis alone.
