My Remington S/S 54 cal in line has a thumb hole stock use it when the weather is nasty and don't want to mess up the good one both are good shootersSweet rifle oneshot! I really like the traditional ones too. I have two flintlocks I built from track of the wolf parts. One is a 42 1/2 inch barrel southern mtn rifle, 50 cal. I killed one muley buck with it. The other is a 32 inch barrel full stock hawken style, .54 cal. I've killed 3 elk and 4 muleys with it. They both have green mountain barrels, 1:66 twist, and shoot patched round balls and traditional black powder. If I miss it's my fault because the guns will shoot touching bullet holes.

Cabela's Hawkins Rifle which I purchased as a kit and built the rifle myself. Since building it in 2003, I have filled my tag with this rifle every year until 2010 when I picked up a T/C Black Diamond.See, there ya go messing with success now.....

Well i do not have a pic of it, and am sure i will hear what a lously rifle it is. I didn't want to spend alot incase I did not enjoy hunting with a muzzy. But i shoot a Traditions (yes Traditions) Tracker. i have shot about 10 different rifles and i have to say that out of those it is the most comfortable to sholder and i am the most accurate with it.
Well, if you like it why do you care what other people think? Don't apologize, enjoy it.

And I would say since you are the shooter - that is exactly what counts!

CVA Buckhorn .50
Post by: Sagebrushwilly on November 20, 2013, 05:33:02 PM
I have 45's, 50's and a 54. 4 sidelocks and 4 inlines. They cover barrel twists of
1:20, 1:24, 1:32, 2 with 1:28, 1:48, and 1:66. I've been debating what to use
for late ML season which opens on Monday, think I will use the .45's since it will
be whitetail only.
Haven't hunted with a centerfire for decades. Back in 1978 built a CVA Mountain
Rifle. There was no ML season back then and got it because the boss bought a
T/C Hawken to shoot off on New Years Eve, and it looked neat.
Back in 1992 all the deer in unit 133 were winter killed, so in 1993 they opened a
late season ML hunt in unit 136 where I lived. Bought a new Knight Wolverine 54
cal. Killed a Muley buck every year. I have about 8-10,000 acres of private land
to hunt between 133 and 136. The early season is usually too hot and I had a
couple of heart attacks in Aug so the early season was out.
It's hard to have a favorite cause it seems you are always looking for the perfect
rifle. Truth is, they all shoot great and anyone of them will do the job if you do
yours. I'm glad the regulations are as they are cause muzzleloading should be
basically primitive as possible, not a dumbed down 30-06.

So here's my Thompson Center Black Diamond... .50 cal.
This was 2009, and yes I'm aware I look YOUNG in this photo. ;)

Shoot you really do! So can I ask how old were you in this pic? The rifle looks nice also but the cow elk looks better! Congrats on the harvest.
I was 22.
That was my first year muzzleloader hunting. Got the TC shot and cleaned.. Here's hoping for an updated photo this season.
Post by: buglebuster on November 24, 2013, 04:33:24 PM
Why do you like it more than your bighorn?Lighter, more accurate, easier to clean, and I like the sights more.

I'm trying to get this Mowrey rifle ready but it has some mechanical issues that need to be sorted out.
