I recently purchased a traditions deerhunter 50cal flintoff my buddy im anxious to go out and give r a shot see how i like it. I know he had good success with it. What do u guys think of that particular smokestick?

Never owned one. But if it sparks good I predict fun.Bet `ya that come the fallyou'll be looking for your first flintlock deer.

From all I have read on them, they are great rifles..

Good luck to ya with your new toy.

I have the precussion version. It was my first ML and has taken dozens upon dozens of deer. The quality was decent for a $119 gun (what I bought it for new), though I did have the trigger honed to get a good pull (factory was more than the weight of the gun).
