Need a Little Advice - New to ML

[DanO]

I'm curious how the gun your looking at ended up with a Thumb Hole...they don't appear to be made with it, was the one your looking at modified ?

I know it's weird MikePal. It's a Traditions Pursuit and the gun is exactly the same as the other Ultralight models shown but they all appear to be camo patterned. It's not modified and I have seen it on other sites but not on the Traditions site. Discontinued maybe?? He bought the gun at Bass Pro in Canada.

Awesome. Im sure you will be quite happy with it.Is it the vortex The one with the stow away stock that you can store stuff in.?

No storage in stock. It's the Pursuit which is apparently the midrange ML for Traditions.

I think I looked at the same one only no thumb hole. I hope it puts some meat in your freezer next season.You have lots of time to get it all dialed in and ready to rock!

Not to hijack the thread but how many times can u fire a muzzle loader before u have to scrub the barrel I found 3 shots and the 4 one you need a hammer to drive it down. Currently using pellets

I can shoot atleast 5 in a row no problem wih my Encore, I've never tried more but I am thinking I could go 7 shots.

That is exactly what you are doing. Please start another thread.

Question posed is quite in context of this thread and responses could as well benefit the OP (thread owner).

Your post is out of context!

Looks like a hijack to me, he's not asking for help with a muzzleloader. He was asking our opinion on a Traditions Pursuit.

I'm going to move away from my slug gun to a ML. I'm in an area now with a second week for ML but not for sllug hunting. I'm looking at a Traditions Pursuit Ultralight 50 cal with a thumbhole stock. Cabelas Canada lists the gun but it's out of stock and they don't have a price.

I need a rough canadian price so I can make a fair trade for my slug gun. This would be without a scope on the ML.

Is the thumbhole a helpful feature? I've never even shouldered a stock with a thumbhole.

Anyone have any input?

The subject line of the thread also says "New to ML," therefore, someone else deflecting off a bit from straight path isn't a huge showstopper. Some additiional questions raised along the track of dicsussion could serve well as long as those aren't entirely irrelevant.

Tolerance apparently wears thin in many cases here!

I did take the deal fellas. I like the gun even with the thumbhole. Not sure about the recoil I haven't fired it yet. Seemed like a fair trade for an HR 20 gauge slug hunter (you'd recognize sharps 4570 ) I really liked that 20 gauge but this trade gives me two additional seasons for the areas I hunt.
