    The Future of Traditional Muzzleloaders?

    Hopkins and Allen Under-hammer

    You don't mention what caliber it is. At $250 I would feel that I got a good deal if the bore is in good shape. They are nice light rifles. IMO they point well. Woody

    My local gun shop had 4 tins of Remington #11 marked at $24.99 which I thought was highway robbery. Stopped in the store last week they had sold.
