modern inline so-n called muzzle loaders shooting smokeless?
Sorta like kissin' yore sister.
Although it may be considered alright in some parts of the country, you wouldn't catch me doin' it!!
Hawkin style muzzle loaders for me, doesn't matter flint or cap, but prefer cap.Falling blocks, and other single shot actions, caliber is not an issue except for the .243 (go back to statement about sister!
)
original rifles chambered in stuff like 577/450 or .577 Snider are very cool.
Lecvers? Nah, unless it's an original '95 Winny in 30/40 or some such.
Bolt actions are just another piece of equipment, and unless very old and unique, lacking in any pizazz!
Hunting with rifles , for me, anyway, has to be fun with a firearm that I like to hunt with, not because of its lethality ( tech term
) because they'll do well, but for the hunt itself.
I have most evrey type of action around, and don't pick a rifle because it may be better than another.
If I did that I'd be using Remchester bolt action or a Tikkaby in 30'06 loaded with whatever 180 grain bullet was around with a 3X9 whatever on top.
As the great Charley Sisk said a while back " Shut up and go hunting"!
