Your best bet is to look for a good used gun.A muzzleloader is not the place to skimp,a cheap flinter will give you plenty of hangfires and soon turn you away from the challenge.A well tuned flinter with a quality frizzen/flint will spark/fire reliably and with fast lock time.Keep looking in the classifieds there are usually some for sale.This is the favorite season for many deer hunters,including myself.Good luck and keep your powder dry.
