I would pick #9 because I know how accurate that rifle is and I like shooting heavy lead conicals. I would love to get a traditional rifle with a quality fast twist barrel.

Doc has one right now. I talked to him last week and it has a 1:18 twist barrel and a 3x Malcolm scope . He hunted with it last month , got a fat doe but never saw the buck he was after . It was out of my budget but I'm sure it's still available with or without the scope. If interested contact him or pm me and I can give you the details

I'd take #10 with a PRB for muley's and elk.

The reason is I always wanted one, and it's the closest one on the list to a real Hawken.

I don't know because I'm in a similar predicament I'm deciding what to use for my early ML season here in PA. I narrowed it down to two but undecided between my Accura V2 or my Renegade with the .58 GM barrel.

I don't believe I can hunt with any of them, don't have any percussion caps........

You don't have the gun either.
