im thinking on getting a muzzleloader for next year but am not sure what to look for. does anybody have any suggestions?

I have to say there are a lot of Muzzle-loaders out there in today's market but the ones I think are in the top of the field are either the Knight Muzzle loader, the CVA and you may want to check out the Thompson Muzzle loader as well. All of these I own and am very happy with their ability to harvest animals with.

I have two Hawkins that are cap lock and then I have two traditions that are in lines It depends on what you want .

First off the bat, what sort of muzzle loader are you interested in, rifle, shotgun, or pistol? If its rifle, are you wanting to look at traditional or modern, caplock or flintlock, percussion cap or 209 primer, open ignition or closed ignition? If you're planning on using it for hunting, check your state regulations for what is allowed, that may have a bearing on what you purchase.

My personal preference is Thompson Center. I play and hunt with a T/C 50 cal. Hawkin percussion, a T/C 50 cal Omega, a Davide Pedersoli sxs 12ga shotgun, and a T/C 45 cal Patriot pistol. There are others in my collection, but these are the ones I normally go to.
