Hey guys--
With my graduation money this year I am hoping to get an inline/ muzzle loader. I live in washington so I know it is illegal to use a scope on them. I am wondering what would be a good entry rifle around the $350 range. What is better .45 cal or a .50? I am a real novice when it comes to this so any help will be grately appreciated. Thanks for reading my post.

Check out Cabelas they have decent - good inlines for that price and below just remember this sport is expensive but iv hunted for 17 years now and im 18 and i can say from personal exp. that is worth every penny for the thrill of shooting at huge bucks with a steaming lead BALL

I'm shooting a MK 85 right now. I'm looking a CVA 209 .45 Long range in Cabales that looks good I hope it shoots as good as lokks, My buddy just got he's Omega .50 and it a shooter it was really good for the first day 2' groups and it not broke in yet,

thanks for the help so far. I think I have narrowed it down to the CVA 209 magnum and the Knight Wolverine 209. Anyone have a preference on the brands? Thanks again.

Rem. 700 inline 50 cal.
Can't go wrong, get you ijn the stainless, W/ synthetic stock.
Slap on glow sights, a good sling, and your set.
Try triple seven pyrodex W/ 385 buf bullets.

that rape was like a 100 years ago, also one side of Butterfield is owned and private (Northside--coppermine) where, as the southside is a private individual ALL PRIVATE SINCE 1955.

The rape was only the final straw to the closure.

ALl the tresspassing, partying, drinking, drugs, and vandalism was the reasons for the closure.

I would have tried anything to keep that canyon open.
TOO many dam teenagers ripping the place up.
Don't blame it on the rape, blame it on the "TEENAGERS" !!

I do know how you feel, it was a great place to go hunting.
