Give me a reason
« on: May 21, 2004, 10:35:11 AM »
I have a staghorn cva muzzleloader. I like it very much. I converted it to a 209 shotgun primer last year. And I started using powerbelt bullets, also. Is the huntsman or sidekick easy to clean as I have read? If so, Please give me some reasons to also give my brother the staghorn and get me a sidekick. I would get a huntsman, but I just need a muzzleloader. I was reading the thread about the cleaning and I will get that stuff that will prevent rust. Man, I think that I will have to have a H&R muzzleloader. What do yall think?

P.S. It's a want , not a need and boy do I want one. How good as far as accuracy?
I like my trophies on my wall and in my belly

I bought a Staghorn for my first muzzleloader. I love it !
I added a huntsman barrel to my 45/70 frame... Love it too.
I had the same thoughts, about giving, when I saw ease of use for the Huntsman. All modern muzzleloaders have been easy to clean. The
cleaning isn't more that a good 30-06 cleaning...
I am very happy with keeping both guns, because I want the longrange knockdown power of the "cheep" Staghorn... Incidentally, I would be hard
pressed to find a better deal in hunting than the $99 Staghorn...

My father in law has a staghorn. I have a huntsman. When we return from the range I can have the breech plug out if mune and cleaned prety much before he gets his apart.  I love how the huntsman shoots and handles. So as far as the ease of cleaning the huntsman wins hands down.
