A lot of people really like their Savage muzzle loaders. Supposed to be very accurate. I wouldn't mind finding one of the laminated ones, I think they are a good looking rifle.
Smokeless is allowed where I hunt. Its kind of funny that people tend to forget the first black powder substitute was smokeless powder.
I think in some states Blackhorn 209 may still be illegal to use, but I don't really know and don't care unless I end up hunting in that state. The deer don't care. Use what is legal and what you like.
