For black powder season I think nothing is better. Have a percussion and getting a flintlock.

Built a Hawken back in the day. It had Globe front sight and a folding peep sight on the back with elevation adjustment. Out to 250 yards I'd match it to any scope-sighted modern rifle. Hadda give it up; the recoil always left a bruise on the skin over my collar bone. But I did luv that rifle.

Used one for years for deer and squirrel. I now have two of the eastern longrifles (a southern style .40 and a .54 early virginia) both made by Tennesse Valley Muzzleloaders. I HIGHLY recommend them. They build a quality product.

There are several out there. The answer is yes although so many improvements have been made in Black powder guns they aren't as popular as they were several years ago.
