I do not know much about Black Powder rifles but, would like to pick one up and get the "right" one the first time
I have narrowed my choices some to a 50 or 54 caliber "modern" inline rifle and am not interested in the older period looking pieces. Modern materials and construction are definite plus as reduced maintanence worries are plus.
I am thinking that either a nickle or stainless rifle with a polymer stock is the way to go. Weather shields for the ignition system are a huge plus but, concerns for weather it is legal in Black Powder deer season are not an issue as this is a pleasure gun only.
The models I have been looking at are the Austin&Halleck, Remington and, Ruger. Are there any significant differences to recommend one over the other or, have I missed another brand that is a stellar user such as the Knight rifles?
Your comments and feedback are most appreciated,
Sid
