What is a good balck powder gun that i can get at a store?

must be under $200. must be a rifleWhat is a good balck powder gun that i can get at a store?
CVA is a good one, i have 2 of them, my 1st was an Apollo stainless steel with no 11 primers and loaded with 90 grains of pyrodex,fairly accurate to 100 yards. i have upgraded to a magbolt that uses 209 shotgun primers and 150 grains of pyrodex pellets pushing a 240 grain 44caliber powerbilt bullet. It gives me more velocity, has a closed breech so no rain or water can get in, it's much like a bolt action rifle and it is fairly accurate out to around 150 yards, atleast thats as far as i've ever shot at anything. Both rifles are 50 caliber but I shoot the 44mag caliber bullet with a sabot. I highly reccomend you go with a 209 primer shotgun primer also as i have never had one misfire when using it.





Check out wal-mart and also with a muzzleloader being considered a primitive weapon, they can be had over the internet without an FFL in most states.


also check www.gunbroker.com


just remember one thing when you get it, is if you shoot it you gotta clean it as soon as possible, thats means same day or atleast within 48 hrs as blackpowder is very corrosive and will begin to eat your barrell right away,.


when you sight it in after every shot you will need to swab the bore then when your done you will need to break it completely down, clean it good and use a good anti seize grease on the breech plug,they can be a lot of fun and extend your hunting season by a couple weeks, So Good Luck, and be careful not to exceed the manufacture reccomended power load.What is a good balck powder gun that i can get at a store?
first off dont buy a new one go to a gun shop and buy a good used one that uses shotgun primers doesnt mater what brand and go shot it you can usaly pick one up for under a 100 $ that way if you dont like it your not out a lot of money you can always resell it
Just go for a Thompson Center then. Though i would highly suggest using 2f powder along with musket caps instead of no.11s. Deer hunting right?
Get a CVA WOLF 50 cal. i think they run about $150
