muzzleloader for hunting in indiana
OK guys i got my 12ga for Xmas
well two weeks before
and a day after i though well i want a muzzle loader and not a shotgun go figure
i found out in Indiana you can hunt with a ml in gun season which gives you three more weeks then a shotgun would.
What muzzle loader would you recommend for a newbie to muzzle loaders
i thought at first that a encore for the changing factor but i am not it's worth the extra money
what would you buy
also what brand and model
also money is not a big issue but i would like to stay under 300 or 400 or around there if i can get agood gun for little more for the gun itself

As far as brands I would say a Knight ot a T/C. There are a some very good guns in both of those lines.

First thing I would ask is what is legal in Indiana during ML season? That can make a big difference in what you might purchase...

Well there are a lot of good brands out there. Thompson Center or Knight would be my choice. A Triumph by T/C or an Omega by T/C. A Knight Rollingblock, Disc Extreme, would also be good choices. All of them are good rifles. Also it depends on what kind of shots you might encounter.

A Triumph or a KRB7 or if you could get one a White, but first check the laws some states have law makers that only have a minimal ides of what a muzzle loader is and have awful screwed up laws. Lee

I like my CVA Optima and I am here in Indianapolis. Where in Indiana are you located? I think I would recommend 50 cal. I think there are more loads to chose from. Welcome to the forum.
