Saw this rifle on one of the websites that sells muzzleloaders. I'm happy to see this one on the market. Called about it. Never was "in stock" and it should be available this Spring. I think the faster twist and removable breech plug are modern changes that will make it an easier cleaning, better shooting hunting rifle for sabots and bullet to bore. The plastic one with the nitride is interesting too, but I would probably go for the wood and blue one. Wish they would make it in a .45 too.

I would rename it.

It's the result of a red headed step child and the banjo kid from Deliverance mating.
P.S. I wish for more .45s too. If I had billions of dollars and didn't care about regulations and labor costs, I'd build .45s right here in America.

Kind of a odd blend of traditional and inline.
I won't be the first in line to get one. Once they are released, I will wait for reviews.

I have an old Deer Hunter model. Very handy size. Hope it does well for you.
Well, I suppose it is a muzzleloader.... 
Was it on muzzle-loaders?? Most likely going to be a 1:28 twist.
Yup, 1/28 twist.
Not sure I would buy one quite yet but I suppose if it was this or a Deerhunter and my intention was punching tags, not paper I would probably choose this one. I have never hunted with a 24" gun like this, but compared to my Hawken it has to be a little nicer in a tree or blind and hiking. For a State that has such requirements, another option.
All I use are carbines. Very nice to pack around the woods, still accurate out to 125 yards and has retained energy. Just got to use the right loads and conicals.
An interesting twist on NW legal with modernization.
This last fall took a deer and an elk with a 24" 54 cal carbine. both in the 75 to 85 yard range. POA=POI
Here is a 21" 50 cal carbine with a 1:32 twist I'll use for deer hunting

I owned and used a .50 DeerHunter for 20 years and took several deer with it. A lighter, handier "rifle" won't be easy to find. Years ago I got it's replacement in the form of brass, wood & steel from a builder I know. The barrel is 25" X 15/16" X .45 and made from brass, wood & steel. Very plain Jane, 6 lbs and and it's only used as a target rifle. Nothing special about it until you fire it at the bullseye.
Wow, very nice! I would like to find something like that one day, 24"ish 45 caliber.I owned and used a .50 DeerHunter for 20 years and took several deer with it.

That's a fine looking rifle, I would have never guessed that was a 25" barrel looking at the picture. My first muzzleloader was a 24" 50 Deerhunter,( still have it) puts deer down and is so handy in the woods, stand or blind.I owned and used a .50 DeerHunter for 20 years and took several deer with it.

The rifle I posted was designed as a kids rifle. But being just a "little guy" it fit me perfectly. Although the barrel is short it still has good "hang" due to the 15/16" .45 barrel.

I just discovered this rifle. I think it is neat. We don't have northwest regulations in Ontario, So I would probably swap it to percussion caps. I like the mix of a wood stock with a modern barrel.
