[QUOTE="seattleman1969, post: 2260919, member: 84285"] I agree with you. Primitive means primitive, not "modern-primitive" My personal favorite is the Lyman Plains rifle, I've had both cap and flintlock models in .50 and .54. First experience with them was in Washington State, my two best buddies and I went in and bought the same .50 cal cap rifle and hunted Roosevelt Elk for several years with them. Talk about rough, forget about getting close, keeping your powder and nipple dry was the biggest challenge of all! Sometimes just the humidity would soak everything. Nothing worse than a pop and no bang, or just a click, when you are drawn down on a critter! We went to archery after a few years and joked that spears out of trees was next. [/QUOTE]
