All great advice.  I really don't care if it is traditional or modern.  I want the best bang for my buck and an accurate/realiable muzzle loader.  I have read alot about peep sights and think that is the way to go, so probably a model that will take an aftermarket peep.

 Then your probably looking at a modern style. I use a williams peep with good results. There are a bunch of different styles to choose from.

My cousin has one. I'm not going to bad mouth anyone here but if you want to know what he's been dealing with shoot me a pm. 

As for a new gun. If you can find a TC Black Diamond XR in stainless. Buy it. You can still find new Knight Bighorns in the stores. There's even been a few places that have had them on a Father's day sale.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

You may just be one person in this world. But you may be the world to just one person.

Thought I saw the new "Wholesale Sports" had them on sale.  Thumbhole stock to boot.

Was there yesterday at the one in Mt. Vernon and there on sale for $199.00 :drool:
It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.                                                                             Local 66 sheetmetal workers
