First, hello. I'm new here, and to black powder, but been an active shooter for many years.
I'm looking to get my feet wet in traditional muzzle loading, and have a question (or two). I'm looking at two lefty Hawken type rifles, and wonder what direction to take.
(1) Used T/C Renegade, looks like it's in pretty good condition, maybe $300 or so.
(2) New Cabela's Hawken, $500 with accessory kit (stuff I'll need anyway)
(3) Anything you guys can recommend?
I kinda like the T/C's price, but the Cabela's has more shiny bits.

Thanks, Ed
 
Welcome!

I'm in the same boat, lots of firearm experience, no muzzloader. I'm also a lefty and was unable to find the side-lock rifle that I wanted.

I decided to build from scratch and received some truly expert advice from the members here. As of now I'm still in the planning/accumulating parts phase of the build, however I do intend to have a functional left-hand, cherry stocked, .32 cal. small game rifle come next squirrel season.

Best of luck, Bill
 
I have a LH 32 cal long rifle, percussion, made by a local guy here (KY) probably 30 yrs ago. Plain jane, no brass, no decorations, Douglass barrel best I remember, double trigger, but it shoots like a dream. I would trade, sell, but shipping can be a hassle. If anyone close is interested..... let me know.
 
For quality, hands down get the T/C. I bought a Renegade off GunBroker a few years back and still could not be happier. Plus you can add all the shiney bit's later on.

Thanks for your replies!
I went with the used ($250) T/C Renegade, should have it in hand in a couple days.
Can't wait to start turning money into smoke and noise!
