Background first....I am disabled and don't walk very well or very far so my muzzleloading is for whitetail deer hunting from a blind that is on a friends place. I can park really close in a wooded area and a few steps later I am hunting. I also plink alittle at a range. I almost always have my son with me. I own a T/C White Mountain Carbine and a Lyman Plains Pistol both in .50 caliber. Thought about a Colt Navy or a '58 Remington but have decided to investigate a musket. I have always loved the muskets used in the War between the States and the .58 Minnie. I am trying (with y'alls assistance) to sort out the current offerings. Dixie has a few Euroarms in stock and Pedersoli is suppose to be bringing more to the country. Armi and Taylor also seem to be in the field. My question before I spend $850 up on a musket is how do they rate as far a s quality goes ? Any assistance would be appreciated....rick
