[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 728509, member: 4809"] So much of your answer depends on what you are looking to achieve. What is the reason or purpose you are now wanting to take up muzzleloading? If it is: better chance of getting drawn, or better chance of getting a trophy because the ML season is during the rut; then a modern inline rifle with a tuned scope is what you want. If you are getting into ML for the challenge or the romance of doing it the way it was done 150 - 200 years ago. Then a traditional rifle (percussion or flintlock) can't be beat. For me, I found little satisfaction with the modern inline rifles. They performed just like modern rifles and there was no challenge for me. I eventually went back to the traditional style for the sheer thrill of doing it the same way it was done by my GG Grandfather: Up close and personal. Very satisfying to know I measured up. To each his own. [/QUOTE]
