How about a little info on the knife in your picture.
I like that a LOT!
![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/524d7392.jpg) The knife is by KA Swearingen of Las Cruces, NM. His website: http://www.swearingenknife.com/index.htmlThe model pictured is his Elk Hunter II. 5" forged & differential tempered 5160 blade with convex edge. It will clean several deer before it needs resharpening. I also bought this one last year from him, it's his "Der Kamp Knife" with a full tang handle, a mashup of two of his standard models. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/DSC_0145_zpsaqkdekyo.jpg) I am semi-okay at knife sharpening; he is an artist at sharpening.

If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

Unless one is an absolute 'puzzy' the 45/90 is a great choice especially for LR events! Blackpowder doesn't kick anyway; just pushes!
Geeez!!
Even birds know not to land downwind!

have two Shiloh #1 Sporters, 50-70 and 45-70. I like them both but suggest the 45-70 for most hunting.
If you plan to shoot smokeless powder, the 45-70 probably makes more sense also. I shoot smokeless 100%, much to the chagrin of many.
For sure shotgun butt
I like their wood and got better wood and AA finish
Pewter forend tip looks nice to me
Get a good quality tang sight, like MVA
I asked Kirk from Shiloh what sights to get for hunting, he said a good tang and Beech front sight
