saw your post about wanting a Huntsman BP rifle. First a bit of history, the Huntsman was the first inline Muzzleloader on the market. It was producted from 1973 to 1976 by H+R in 45 and 58 caliber. It was again built for a short period under the New England Firearms name until 2004. You can purchase these guns online at the Gunbroker.com website with a reasonable bid from existing owners. I have collected many over the past 30 years in 45, 50, and 58 caliber both blued and stainless. With the addition of a Nikon Omega ML scope, you will certainly have the makings of a fine piece. I killed three deer with my 50 caliber this past hunting season at ranges from 40 to 203 yards per my range finder. Good bidding and good hunting with a muzzleloader.
