    Last time I was at Cabelas they had their replica models on an end cap tethered to the display, but you could pick them up and handle them. I'll have to go back and check them out before I buy. And for whatever reason, the Colt looks like it's a better pointer. I don't know how, but I feel...

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I like the Remington better, but there is something about the Colt that is grabbing me too. So, Simple answer is, BUY BOTH! But more seriously, since most seem to agree the Remington isn't that much more difficult to cap and doesn't foul if you take...

    Muzzleloading Future

    I'm new to muzzleloading this year. And I can say I'm really into it. I love the feel and the way my rifle handles compared too my other CF guns. I want to get into the PC/HC side of it. For me, I found the romance of history and tradition. I started hunting with a rifle when I was 12 because it...

    Well, I'll start at the beginning. I'm 20, and I've been hunting and shooting in Pa with my dad since I could walk. He's been talking about getting a muzzleloader for a few years now. This Christmas, He bought me a Traditions Frontier kit. 1-66 twist, .50 caliber, percussion. This was my first...
