I have wanted to buy a cheap starter 50 cal Muzzleloader for hunting the 16 days that Florida has to offer. Not very up on the knowledge on these weapons but think it would let me hunt a few more days. Any suggestions to stay away or worth the 150.Don't really want to spend to much for something I will only hunt 14 days with.Thanks and happy shooting.Also forgot to add that I have a extra 3.5-10-44 Zeiss conquest that I was thinking of putting on it.Good move or not???

I bought one last winter and it seems to be a serviceable piece.Not as nice as a thompson,but like you say,14 days a year.

If you hunting in an area where your longest shot is 80 yards or so, then I don't think you can go wrong. If the distance is longer, it will just depend on how well you can shoot your particular gun.
