New Muzzle loader

Lyman is made by Investarm so they are basically the same. I have a Lyman Trade Rifle and it's very well made and shoots better than I can hold.
I can vouch for the Lyman being a decent gun, I have never owned an Investarm, but it appears to be a decent one as well. Is there much difference between the price? I prefer the look of the plains rifle over the trade rifle if the Investarm is such. Just my personal preference.
I guess, my friend, you are stuck with the age old gun owner problem. Debating on which one you'll be happy with down the road. Are both out of the question? Nice to have a backup.

I personally like the look of the Lyman GPR but the Trade Rifles stock dimensions fit me better. I had to add a leather cheek pad on my GPR to bring my face high enough to line up the sights. Get what fits you best as both will be the same quality. Greg
