What would you get ??


Recommended Posts

First off I would pick a Thompson Center for their warantee. Last year my dad screwed up his 24 year old TC Renegade. Thompson Center honored their warantee and gave him $250 for a new ML.

That being said, I would choose a TC that is comfortable and fits you like a glove. For example the TC Encore feels awkward when I shoulder it. The Triumph on the other hand feels like it is a part of me. I plan to own one next year.

It would have to be the Savage 10 MLII. There is really nothing like it.

It works good on black powder and substitutes, but is the only ML that shoots smokeless.

Once you shoot smokeless you will never turn back.

Read up on them, shoot one, and you will be hooked.

Clean it only at the end of the season.

That is probably the best choice I've seen overall...

Personally though my first choice is a TC Hawken Flintlock as my next ML. Second choice would be a ML Pistol Kit to build.

I don't know much about them, I'm new to muzzeloading. However, I think I'd have to go with Davy Crocketts "Betsy".

His first, or original, gun is in Jefferson County and has been since 1806. His rifle "Betsy", presented by the Whigs of Philadelphia in 1834, is at Nashville, Tennessee.

A priceless piece of American history!

TC all the way. I started with the Encore and love it but couldn't resist that Omega thumbhole laminated stainless when it came out and find myself using that now for all my MZ hunting. Advantage of the Encore is the ability to buy barrels and make it something else which can be very attractive also.
