I've yet to see an Elkhorn with a stainless barrel.  But if/when i do find one on store shelves...its mine!  :chuckle:  My Blackdiamond is blued, i have several hawkens which are blued...I would really prefer for my next muzzy to be stainless.  No matter how much time and attention I put into my muzzys, I continue to find rust  :bash:.  I have come to expect it...but i hate rust on my firearms  :bash: :bash:

Just cause a barrel is called stainless doesn't mean it won't rust. Trust me I found that out the hard way. Knight makes a gun oil that works great for the out sides of your muzzy. We found it last year just before elk season. My cousin sprayed his handgun with it. Inside and out. After a few day's of hunting in the pouring down rain and snow he pulled his gun out to clean it. He took it apart and found moisture on the inside. Not a spot of rust. If you can find it get a couple of cans.
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.

My wife has been hinting around about possibly getting me a new muzzleloder for Christmas.  Since I have very little experience wit hte newer kinds, I assume from all the comments that the Elkhorn would be a good choice?

My dad,brother and I are all about to buy a muzzleloader. From the looking I've done,the Elkhorn seems to be a decent rifle. The Knight Bighorn and T/C Black Diamond are also something worth looking at. The problem is,they aren't made anymore so you'll either have to go used,or find a new one in the corner of some gun shop.

I'd like to get my hands on an Elkhorn,but can't find one locally.

I have loved mine for the last 5 years, this was the first year it ever had trouble. 3 misfires in one day, i hope that i can attribute that to the wet cold weather. Other than that one day----flawless.

Were the actions on your rifles really rough when new?

At first,I could barely cycle the action. After cycling it about 100 times its getting better.
