I think the simple rifles of Henry Leman, Lancaster county were very practical. Especially his later trade/Indian rifles. But those of J. Henry and H. Derringer were not to be sneezed at either. Those J. Henry rifles would run a close second! All well built utility rifles.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
