I have new SS Huntsman 50 cal muzzleloader, no scope yet. I have been thinking about getting a center fire rifle barrel after this hunting season. Does anyone have any experience with sending their gun back to the factory for a new barrel addition? Also what caliber do most of you select for deer hunting? I was thinking a 270, but I have been reading up on the 7MM08. I'm not sure what all calibers they offer.
I guess the other consideration is should I just get another rifle rather than add a single shot barrel on my Huntsman? Oh well I really like the gun. I went hunting with it yesterday for the first time. Opening day of muzzleloader sesaon in NW Florida. Saw 15 deer, mostly does and 2 spikes. In my buddy's club they have to be 6 pointers to shoot. Maybe next time. I plan on using it all year to deer hunt, since I don't have any kind of high powered rifle.
