cricker209X50 Katahdin
I traded my standard Encore 209X50 barrel for a Katahdin carbine barrel over the summer, cause I thought I would really like the ghost ring sight.The sight didn't work for me but I do like the shorter length and set it up with a Bushnell 3X9 and circle X reticle. I am happy to report it works very well. It has been blooded on its second day of the muzzle loader season.

HonkeyI have a Katadin and am hoping to get some use out of it this muzzleloader season this winter up here in Maine. Congradulations on putting some blood on the ground.
Nicely done! What sort of load are you using? Good hunting!
