My suggestion would be to try and fire as many styles as you can both flinter and cap lock before you decide!
I originally thought I wanted a Lancaster County style long rifle but over the years found that I really like the half stocked plains style rifles, regardless of caliber.
I have built , hunted with and competed with a few flinters but can't seem too get away from thee big Hawken style rifles!
However, I do have friends who started with flint or went from cap lock to flint and never looked back!
