I started out with a Knight MK-85 and migrated to a Savage 10-MLII about 10 years ago. I have since purchased a CVA Optima v2 nitrided. In all of them, they have pros and cons. I like the break action muzzleloaders these days as they are easier and quicker to clean. I love the fact that the Optima is nitrided and has a lifetime factory warranty against corrosion in the barrel.
