Hi All,
I am thinkning of getting my 16 yr. old his first blackpowder rifle for the upcoming hunting seasons in Maryland and Pennsylvania. I am a single parent on a very tight budget and, although I am an experienced shooter and reloader, have no idea what would be a good, economical starter rifle. I just want the rifle to shoot straight out to 100 yds. and don't need any bells or whistles. I think 50 cal. is the way to go with sabot bullets.Being able to aford a rifle is my primary consideration
Any and all recommendations on brand and type are appreciated, as always!

Get this Knight Wolverine. This is an unbelievable deal at $109.
If these guys sell out google it up and you can still get one for under $200.
This is one of the great classic inlines. Made in USA with a very accurate Green Mountain barrel.
