I am considering getting a, Enfield style rifled musket. I know they were not and probably are not made in Enfield but that is OK. I am looking for a modern reproduction of one, or an original... whichever is less expensive.

What could I expect to pay for whichever is less expensive? How much are musket balls for it, minie balls? Where can I get percussion caps and are they very expensive? What about black powder? In all, how much should I expect to pay per shot?

(The Enfield is the rifled muzzle loader used by the Confederacy)

My boyfriend is really into fishing, and I want to set him up with a new tackle box and supplies for it. I know some of the basics, (needle nose plyers, cutters, line, hooks, filet knife and bait knife etc). We live in San Luis Obispo (well, on the water nearby) and we catch everything from sharks to rock cod to halibut. We go for pretty much anything that will put up a fight. We fish in lakes, on the beach, in the estuary/bay. I just need some reccomendations of what kinda hooks and stuff would be good for kindof a wide variety of fish and environments.

Thanks for any reccomendations!

ok. so i know that deer hunting season is coming, so therefore insurance companies are gearing up for insruance claims for deer/car accidents. so let's just say, if we can hunt them, which is better eradicating as much deer and leaving them for dead or the buzzards meals, or let them cause thousands of dollars for repairs? in my opinoin, i'd rather eradicate as much deer to resolve the accident issue. other opinions?

Is there an easier way to load a Marlin .30/30? I bought some snap caps for my Marlin and every time I load one into the magazine, it nips my thumb. It pinches it to the point where I get a bruise on my thumb and fingernail. One time it even took a part of the fingernail off. Is there any way to load it easier with out pinching my finger?

I have an 6.6lb Remington 870 with an 18 inch barrel and factory recoil pad. I have been shooting 6 1/2 shot 2 3/4" game load shot out of it. I was wondering if my shotgun firing 00 buck shot would kick more or less than a .30-06 rifle. The rifle being a Ruger M77 Sporter that weighs just at 6lbs 8 oz. and has a small recoil pad on it. The length of pull is just right for me as is the shotgun. Which will have more felt recoil?

And was just wondering what route I should go? Price isn't TOO big of a deal, but I don't want to spend some huge amount. I only deer hunt about 5-6 times a season due to work, but I want to get a better, more dependable gun.

Any Suggestions?
