Ok since yall dont have a "newbie specific section" I am going to post my question here.
I will be leaving the country for a few months and plan to buy myself my first muzzleloader upon my return.
I cant decide what to get though. I think the flintlock rifles are more elegent and gracefull looking, but I also like the reliability of the percussion ignition system. Also I cant decide on style. I like both the Hawken profile and the Kentucky rifle design but I have no idea which is most inherently accurate or practically shootable.
Im not wanting to get anything extravegant and will probably go pretty economical for my first front stuffer. But I would still appreciate your advice to a newbie.
