I Live in WA and bought a TC System 1 about 25 years ago and had fun shooting it. I mostly just shot round balls and “plinked” with it. I never got to hunt with it and let a buddy borrow it for a special hunt. He didn’t clean it, it got trashed. I kept hunting modern and archery and never got back into it.
So, I’m interested in getting back into it. I’m more interested in the modern rifles because I live on the wet side of WA state. I know the rules have changed since I last shot a muzzleloader 25 years ago, and there are a lot more options in rifles. I’d like to find a rifle with open sights, using a reliable ignition in wet climate. I’m interested in the rifle as a tool, not a lifestyle.
What say all? A friend has a Knight ultra light and seems to like it. I’ve looked at Knights, Encores, and CVA. I just don’t have the experience to know what features to value over others.
