    Hope accuracy is good enough for hunting deer

    Yes I did kill a deer with it last year....it looks like it opened up more out to 50...but the 1st couple of shots were right at the bullseye...but when I would swab barrel with alcohol after 2 shots it would tighten back up some...

    The .62 rifle took a 2022 deer

    congratulations on your success.. in the field.... Any animal taken with a rifle like that and with the story like yours... is a trophy I don't even look at him like a button buck...I look at him like a sandwich

    Remember your First ML kill?

    My first traditional muzzleloader kill was last year a little 7 buck .... Using a tradition kit I built that my kids had got me for Father's Day.... Between that and bow hunting that's the only way I'll hunt for the rest of my life
