What's your favorite model and caliber?

[Nimrodder]

For me:

1. Lightning
2. Super 91
3. Blacktail

I love the short barrel, light weight and quick handling of the Lightning and with Chiefs 496gr NEW Conicals was the most accurate muzzleloader I've ever shot.

The Super 91 is long, graceful, downright sexy and a good shooter. But it's length can make it feel a bit heavy in the hills of southern Indiana.

The Blacktail or M 00 is just a dressed up M 97 with Black Ice coating and cool engraving on the laminated stock. I wish I still owned that gun.

I've never owned or seen the other models of Whites.

As far as caliber I prefer .504 over the others. To me they seem more accurate but that's probably just my bias. I do own 451s. Maybe I'll prove to myself that they're just as good lol. SKWIRL!

If you don't shoot Whites I'd still like to hear about your favorite muzzleloaders and calibers too.

I’m gonna say my White Odyssey .504. Handles like a dream and nothing sexier on the planet! (She may be up for a bear hunt in AK in a few weeks.)

Although I do love all my Whites!

 

[Nimrodder]

Oh Wow! That is a sexy muzzleloader! I forgot about that model. Can't wait to hear about that hunt

 

[Nimrodder]

ElDiablo, is that gun 209 or #11? What's your bear load? Scope?

 

[toytruck]

Super 91 in .451
Super 91 in .504
Thunder .12 ga.
Put more game in the freezer with those than any other I have.

Plus the Lightning is more rare
Only 2000 were made in 1994. They all have wilson barrels and were all sold the same year of manufacture

 

[edmehlig]

Mine is my 451 M97.

It’s a #11 ignition. Haven’t decided but leaning towards a 400 gr Barnes original for the bear hunt. May put a low variable or a red dot on it for baited bear.

451 Super Safari

 

[michiganmuzzy]

Super 91 .451
Super 91 .410
ESR .451 with Douglas barrel

I really wish i could afford to take that ESR off your hands. That would immediately become my new #1.

Actually it is gone. I sold it to a forum member and I saw they sold it to a different member. So I dont have it anymore. But I do have a gibbs , hexagonal whitworth and creedmore tryon as far as fast twist sidelocks . Any of those will shoot right up there with the ESR.
So will the volunteer

 

[earlthegoat2]

54 is my favorite caliber I have a Rem 700MLS, Palmetto Arms, and CVA Staghorn, and Lyman Deerstalker.

50 is probably my least favorite caliber…so naturally I have one of those too which happens to be my favorite rifle design…the Omega.

I like big bore for my side locks so I have a 58 cal ASM Hawken and a 75 cal Brown Bess musketoon. Hope to have a 75 cal blunderbuss soon.

 

[GregK]

My Whitetail .410 handles better than my Knight Mountainer 45 1-20 & LRH 50 cal but they all serve a purpose
If you throw in smokeless then it’s my CVA Apex 358. I also have a brand new Omega 40 caliber, but I haven’t even put a scope on that yet.

But, imho, the dont look as good as the ESR. Some day the stars will align and i will have the $ at the same time that i find another one for sale.

I don' have a model because I build my own but I love .458! Keep in mind I line in Ct so shots over 200 yds are super rare and most are under 100.
