Blackpowder Experts?
I am looking for a relatively inexpensive (less than $200), basic, beginner muzzloader. I have heard that the CVA Hawken and Bobcat are good choices. Does anyone know anything about these or have other suggestions? Help is greatly appreciated.
The definition of an "expert":An "X" is an unknown quantity and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure.

So an 'expert' is an unknown drip under pressure. 0 -
I've used Thompson Center Arms Hawken rifles for years in various calibers; It's hard to beat the quality and reliability of a T/C Arms rifle, and they have a lifetime warranty which they stand behind 100%;Suggest you strongly consider a clean, used, .50cal percussion model and you won't be disappointed;Search on "Thompson Center" on these auction sites...you can usually run across a good clean .50cal Hawken in the $200-250 range;wjcutbush@aol.com 0 -
Check out the sportman Guide. They have a kit that is like $120 plus shipping. It is more fun to build one your-self. I bought two CVA Staghorn 50 cal in-line, one for me and another for my wife, for $70.00 each. It is just the basic in-line that using the 209 shotgun primer, plus it is drilled and taps for a scope mounts, but you will have to buy the other things. 0 -

The TC Hawken is a fine rifle for the price. Also consider the in-lines like the Black Diamond. I often hunt with a Black Diamond while my partner hunts with a Hawken. Both are fine hunting rifles. You can often pick up good quality Hawkens used. They work well with the new pelleted powder substitutes. 0 -
Hey the butcher, great cyber name. It could get confusing though. Who was here first? 0 -
A real muzzle-loader uses a side lock. In lines are for cheaters. The whole reason muzzle loading is more fun is because it is more of a challenge! Just my two cents. 0
