the ultimate question... new muzzleloader... or new bow...
« on: February 05, 2011, 12:58:44 PM »
my current muzzy was built from one of those kentucky rifle kits from traditions... not exactly the greatest gun but it shoots ok-ish- guess i got what i paid for...

 in otherwords, it looks better than it shoots, so ive come to the conclusion that i have a choice, i can either get the bow ive been wanting for a while, or a new muzzleloader...

as far as muzzleloaders go what would you guys reccomend? there really isnt much of a selection around here. im thinking of something around 400$... im a fan of the T/Cs- im considering the omega, but i see that they have a "northwest special" made for #11s,but you can get nipples for almost any gun... also a fan of the lyman deerstalker, but im pretty sure i want an inline. something stainless too

catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

Can't go wrong with the Knight Bighorn.

My Lymans are very accurate. I prefer the traditional muzzleloaders. There is a nice stainless deerslayer in .54 cal for sale in the classified section. I would buy it if I the extra money, would make a great all weather rifle.
