manufactured guns usually shoot best with similar load and bullet from gun to gun.. try to find out the factory recomendations for that gun, and verify it works well.. .. groove depth skirt thickness, and amount of power go hand in hand for accuracy.. black powder shooting will take some time to get used to and find its ins and outs.. groups wont look very good at all at first,but with persistence and lots of trial and error youll do fine.. dont file until youv found a load and have shot that load many times and are positive its just what you want.. sight in distance depends on trajectory and game size.. i prefer longer sight ins for deer and elk with holding low for shorter shots using the arc for less minus compensation at the far end of the distnace the gun is usefull for when shot offhand,or kneeling or crosssticks, what ever you depend on using.. if your hunting deer in heavy cover then that wont be usefull of course.. so youll have to work your situation out.. dave

The best one that you can afford and it depends on where and what you hunt to detirmine your zero!good luck

Went to wally world last night and they had smokepoles on clearance. A blue Omega was listed for $340. It was the last one they had and was out on display. I asked the guy working the counter if he could ask the manager for any more $$ off since it was the display. He too is an avid hunter. He called the dept manager AT HOME at 945PM and asked and got another 20% off!!

Well I loaded that sucker in the cart along with some 777 50 gr pellets, and 250 gr Hornady L&L SST/ML sabots and some 209 primers.

Now, what scope do yall recommend??? and zero at what yds??
