Ok, as the title states, I am hooked. I borrowed my neighbors T/C Encore Pro Hunter and was able to harvest my first elk in Nevada. Now I am looking for my own rifle. I would like something that will be accurate to 300 yards as I can't imagine going too much further with a peep sight. .45 minimum, but I'll probably stay .50, It would be nice if it could do both 209 primers and percussion caps, and use black powder or black powder substitutes. This will be mostly for mule deer and pronghorn antelope, but maybe another Elk if I go to a different state.
He has an mk85 that he said he would sell, but will the shorter barrel on that still provide the performance and accuracy I am looking for? Or should I look for an Omega, Knight, another Encore, etc, with a longer barrel? Thank you guys for the help this year, it made the jump into muzzleloading a lot easier of a journey.
