which muzzleloader

[skinner2]

I am looking for my first muzzleloader and am in need of some suggestions. I live in Pa and can only use a flintlock in our late season. Everyone seems to recommend the tc firestorm but I hate to spend that kind of money on my first one before I know if I will like it but if I do like it I will probably wish I would of got one. Anyone have a good suggestion

The tc you might pay a little more but you will never have to worry about getting another ML again.I have a hammer lock TC hawkins and owned for 9+years "but the ml is older than that"it has killed two nice bucks one 8point"18an ahalf inch spread"and a 9 point with a "15 an ahalf inch spread".Your choice but i'am a tc believer.Good luck and let us know what you go with.

Skinner I too live in PA and am obligated to use the flintlock. Until recently I owned several Italian made Investarms flinters. I recently bought an RMC Accusporter. My model is their old model without the features of their newest one. If you live anywhere near Bellefonte PA you may want to go to RMC's Retail outlet in Mingoville. These rifles are made with an L&R Lock (one of the best in the business) and a green mountain barrel (one of the best mass produced) Yep they are more dollars than a host of others but they are worth every penny just for their accuracy and reliability.
