Treb: Many thanks for the above. An apt comparison.

I now have additional questions about what I saw and liked about that rifle last summer. Tennessee Valley Muzzleloading makes a Tennessee Rifle model that looks very close (at least to my eye) in it's lines and appointments (ie. similar drop and stock shape) to that really exceptional one I held and enjoyed at Dixon's. Evidently, it can even be built as a "Po-boy".

Where does one go to get more information about such rifles? The more I learn about them the less I seem to actually know.
