What would you say if there was only one company that made all muzzleloading equiptment/guns, what would you pick it to be?
For me it would have to be Traditions. I have a .50 cal hawken woodsman flint, and I love it, most of cleaning equipt. is Traditions also.

Only one kind of gun! Man thats a scary thought. If I absolutly have to, I would have to go with a Thompson Center with Knight and Traditions coming in tied for second.

Lyman. They make traditionally-styled guns with modern materials and techniques, and with a good balance between quality and economy.
No offense to those who like Traditions, but I've owned one of their rifles and won't waste my money on another -- it was a piece of over-priced junk compared to my Lyman. |

If Traditions was MADE IN USA I would be a hard core Traditions fan. They got the right stuff, but they are stabbing the American working class in the back by manufacturing offshore. Oddly enough the good ole boys are their biggest coustomers. I'm only guessing, but I don't think they do much Blackpowder hunting outside of the USA. Well?, maybe Africa.

| Hard to beat Thompson/Center considering the quality of the products and the Lifetime Warranty. Prices are high, but I guess as with most things, you get what you pay for. |

Notice I am in the minority. I shoot a plain ole CVA Optima. Absolutly as accurate as the Omega, at half the price. And I have never had any problems whatsoever out of CVA guns, and I have been shooting them for over 10 years.

| I am only 20 years old but i know my black powder. I have been hunting deer with a knight for 11 years now. The reason that i have not change gun is because i hear of people coming out of the woods saying i had a big buck but my gun miss fired. But you never here of a knight miss fire. I have killed a deer ever year with mine and i never even think of it not going off. So i will stick with my knight after all they did my the first in-line. Plus they shot the best. Just look at the shooting matchs the last fine years they win them all. So one gun make (knight) |

| My ole Lyman has never mis-fired on me. Most of it is how you take care of your rifle before loading. Rain or shine...always goes off when it's supposed to. Can't say about them in-lines...never have owned one. Did hold one once...my buddy was showing me his rifles and slipped that one in on me. :) |
