Hi all - I am looking to buy my first percussion…I think I’ve narrowed it down to Traditions Deer Hunter (cheapest), Lyman Deer Stalker, Pedersoli Hawken Hunter.
I’m leaning towards the Lyman, but tempted by the fact that the Pedersoli’s faster twist would allow me to use saboted bullets and non-lead ammo.
Keen to hear people’s experience with questions of accuracy, ease of cleaning etc? - Also on the question of sights: I’ve got middle aged eyes (and middle aged everything else too!) Maryland does not allow scopes for primitive season, was thinking peep…how are the stock sights on any of the three above mentioned?
