So these 2 rifles have caught my eye and I am fairly certain I'm going to pick one . Now to decide on which one though, I believe each one would have its place. I can make a case for each one with my hunting style I live in eastern Washington near the Idaho pan handle border. One day might find me in a tree stand or ground blind waiting on a whitetail while the next I'm hoofing it up 1000' of elevation trying to get ahead of a heard of elk and then in the off season just going out to see how far I can throw a piece of lead and hit something. So i guess my question is the extra velocity and stability of the mountaineer worth giving up to save the weight or would the difference be negligible. As far as caliber 45 with the fast twist is the only way to go from what I've seen but i am fairly new to muzzleloading so that's why I am asking for opinions.I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.
