Best .54 for money?

[limbhanger78]

I am looking to buy a .54 for hog hunting. We do a ton of hog hunting here in Oklahoma and I want to grab a good smoke pole to do it with! I prefer flintlocks but would use cap if had too. I mostly turkey hunt smoothbore so not looking to spend a grand on .54. I would just like to get everyones opinion on what i should go with please. Thanks!

With the needs you have outlined I would say a Lyman Great Plains Rifle. They are made in percussion or flintlock, and if you shop around you should find one for less than $500. Good luck make good smoke........................watch yer top knot................

Have to agree with the rest here- if you're looking for bang for your buck, you can't beat the GPR. The shoot well, and parts are common. Watch the classifieds here or check out your local club, and you're bound to find one. $400 should do it. Flint or caplock, you can't go wrong. I own two and love 'em.

Thanks fellows!!! I'll look em up tonight!! Can't wait to lay an ole boar in the shade with a smoke pole!

Take a look at the Lyman Trade Rifle as well. Best bang for your buck I have found, not that the GPR isn't a good choice but you can buy a new TR for a little over $300.

No love for the TC .54 Renegade.

Another vote for the GPR here! Geo. T.

I really like the TC Hawken in 54 caliber. A good used one should be avaiable if a person looks a little.
