Default There should be a warning....

On this site about how addictive muzzleloaders are. After just telling myself that I don't need another muzzy (or at least another inline) I ended up buying one of those Knight Visions on sale for $159. Plus shipping and minus a gift card I had, I am now richer one more inline and poorer $120. Just too good of a deal to pass up. I'll post a range report when I am able to get out next. Is there any cure???

I really liked the one I tested... there were a couple of changes I suggested but by in large it was a very good gun. I think you will like it.... + the price was sure right...

I think you'll like the rifle. Please keep us posted on any range trips. I only shoot Blackhorn out of mine and I haven't found a good load yet.

For now it's going to be a backup rifle for me. I won't get to shoot it for about a month probably, but I'll keep you all informed. Okay, I REALLY don't need another inline.... maybe a Renegade or GPR, but then I'm finished, over.....

You couldn't buy the barrel for that price. Good for you. You needed another rifle. I was real tempted but talked myself out of one. I figured if Semisane was not going to buy on then neither was I.

Keep is posted on the rifle. It will make all of us who would not jump on that deal sorry.

A new Muzzleloader is always the right option!

In a pigs eye you will be finished. I have told myself that at least ten times but when a good deal on a gun I like comes up my resolve goes out the window. Thank God my long suffering wife is very forgiving when I blow money on one I can't live without.

Not many of us can say they have not bought a gun they don't need. This is just my latest hobby.

I used to fish.. alot. The cost of a boat, gear, fuel, the latest electronics makes this hobby look cheap.

I used to golf.. alot. Clubs, balls, greens fees makes this hobby look cheap.

Look at it this way, you're saving money by not getting involved in more expensive things. For $120 bucks you just may have saved yourself a buch of money, plus, your have a tangible asset.

Where is that link anyway? I need to save some money in these tough times.
