I've been a long time Muzzle loader shooter but always percussion. As I head into my "Golden Years", whatever that is, I've decided to get a flintlock rifle. I was going to go with a cheap used Jukar (CVA) to make sure I liked it before I spent the money for a better rifle. The more I thought about it, a cheap flintlock may be counter productive to making an informed decision. So, I feel it would be better to start with a better gun. I don't have the means for a custom build rifle so I'm looking at a production rifle. I don't want anything fancy as I will use this for small game hunting so I'm not looking for a safe queen. After much searching, I'm thinking about a Pedersoli Pennsylvania Flintlock Model in 32 caliber. I was also thinking about the Dixie model as I do like a little bling. What is everyone's opinion of this rifle? The function of the flintlock, finish of the gun, the closeness of the style to the originals and the accuracy of the Pedersoli 32 caliber. I will be using a round ball. Thanks for your help, Steve
