new guy
 

Hello All,
Im new to HuntingNet and to black powder.
Looking forward to learning alot from here. Looks like there is alot to offer.
Thanks for letting me be apart.

Welcome to the site.

What part of Mass are you from? I was born and brought up in Springfield.

20 Miles west of Boston.
A small town called Acton.

welcome to the forum. Good to have you here.

Glad to be here.
Looking forward to getting my 1st black powder rifle.
Limited funds, any suggestions?

Give us a price range.

Do you want an older style sidelock, or a modern inline?

The inline will be more user friendly for someone new.

$200 is about all I can do right now.
Might have to get a used one.

Used will get you a better gun. You have a few options new. Some will recommend the CVA Wolf. They sell for under $200. I'd rather see you get a TC gun. The TC Impact is a nice gun to start off with, but it's $250.

See what the other guys say here. They might have some used guns for sale. Check the classified section here too.

Welcome. I just puchased a Knight Vision from The Sportsmans Guide. They are offering free shipping or $20.00 off coupons right now. I can't tell you how good it shoots because it's in the mail and on it's way to me. But I haven't read any bad reviews on it. The lowest cost model without a scope is $169.97 before any discounts or shipping.

Thanks,
I will check out TC and Knight Vision.
Problem is that Sportsmans Guide will not ship to Massachusetts.
Guns or Broad heads and most Knives.

Check out Bass Pro in Foxborough, MA which is only 41 miles away from Acton. Then you can shoulder and inspect a variety of rifles. Don't forget to read their local circulars online in the right hand column of the Foxborough store webpage below.

Welcome to the group UrbanWolf. Does your interest lean toward inlines or sidelocks? Do you plan to hunt with it, or shoot targets and plink?

Thanks Arcticap for the link, I will check it out.I have to go with the inline, Massachusetts law.
Semisane, I plan to hunt .Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the Forum,new blood keeps it alive.

I don't think Mass has a law against sidelocks. It's the other way around in some states. (no 209 inlines)

Neither the Wolf or the Impact are legal in Massachusetts. No breakopen actions are allowed there. Check the Mass laws before you buy any gun because they have some screwy laws in Mass.

So, he'd be ok with an Omega. Out of his price range a bit.

Mass always had screwy laws. That's why I left.

Welcome pilgrim, to the best M/L site on the web.i posted the laws for your state for you to look at.http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbu...-massachusetts since your cash allowance is low and before you consider buying used here is a lil gem of a inline that appears to be legal, since it not a hinged inline. all for about $170 shipped to your door. i personally own one and can verify there are built like a tank, with one of the best barrels you can buy in the M/L world and extremely accurate with saboted bullets or full bore conicals...oldenglishoutfitters.com." Knight wolverine" have fun and when you but a rifle come back and everyone here will get you set up to use it. Ray

Welcome aboard,Urban Wolf.I found this board when I got my first Muzzy,been here ever since.I studied and asked questions before I ever loaded or fired it.Old style CVA Wolf.
Good,affordable,entry level gun. Good luck with your selection.

WOOD, i was also going to suggest the wolf as a alternative. problem is he can't use any m/L that opens with a hinge.i shot a wolf and for the price there a nice lil rifle. still not up to the quality of the lil Wolverine, but a nice entry level rifle ans a bit easier to clean. Ray

rh stage 2
 

Hey wolf welkies ! , I did here that T/C impact was a pretty good deal , but as it is most m/l are pretty good these days , my suggestion would buy what u like and can afford , and it should be a great shooter , good luc :arms:

I doubt it muley, doesn't the omega drop out on a hinge also?. he kinda limited lol. Ray

It's a strange design. The barrel doesn't pivot on the receiver.

What the hell is Mass thinking with that law?

Dunno, but i wouldn't chance buying a Omega unless i knew for certain it was legal there. which leaves the guy with 2 choices a plunger style gun or a sidelock. that is why i suggested the Knight wolverine for $150 plus $17 shipping NIB. very well made stocks and Green mountain barrels, hard to go wrong.accurate and reliable to boot, with saboted bullets or conicals. the one i have was the best $150 i ever spent.. Ray

Welcome to the family, urban wolf.

Good to have you here. :sign0016:

Welcome, Urban Wolf.

Are plunger fire inlines are legal in MA? A very good accurate gun for the money is the CVA BuckHorn.

Thank you all for the welcome and the advice.
One thing we can agree on is that Massachusetts gun laws suck.
Like I said before, im looking forward to learning alot. Soon as I get my rifle I will post a pic.

Welcome and enjoy!!

What i read was hinge type rifles are not leagal. didnt mention any other.the Knight wolverine for $150 NIB is a steal and far better quality than the buckhorn. Ray
