Default What was your first??

My first muzzleloader was a Thompson Center left hand Renegade.Brand new for $159.00.I spent 200 hundred that day for everything I thought I needed.Went out and shot it and was hooked on black powder hunting and shooting.I let my buddy shoot it and off to the gun shop he went.My girl friend at the time didn't mind me hunting,but she sure frowned when I would clean the gun..lol

CVA Plainsman in 1:66 twist.
I keep kicking myself in the pants for selling it several years ago.

My other first was a redhead, at a Drive-In Theater, back in 1969.

Just a general question Sabotloader.I suppose everyone on this forum has a passion for muzzleloaders and it all began some where.I would be money ahead if I never bought a muzzleloader,but then again I would have missed all the fun and enjoyment it brought me over the years. As well as all the hunting adventures .

My first sidelocks were all Hawken style guns. My first inline was a CVA V2.

Funny, because I just bought another V2. I've come full circle back to where I started.

My first was a TC High Plains Sporter in .50 cal...back around 1990 I think.
Sure wish I still had it, but I was young and dumb and traded it in on the first Knight I ever got, back in 1993 or 1994. A stainless MK-85 that I still have today.

Don't regret getting the MK at all, I just wish I had not traded the TC in on it. It was a nice rifle that you don't see much of these days. Heck, you didn't see em much back then.
