Muzzies. Not the towel kind, the freedom kind. I haven't hunted with a smoke pole since I was a kid toting around dad's old handbuilt KLR 79" octagonal barrel behemoth and it's time to get pack into the game. Gawd, that thing sucked to tote around at elevation, but it did get me a nice bull once. I digress...

It's buying season, so pick me a winner in a NW package and tell me why.

CVA
Traditions
Thompson/Center

Striker or hammer?
Pellet or loose?
Sabot or Powerbelt?
Any specific worked up loads known to perform well?

I've done my basic research, but still can't decide and it would be great to not waste my money and time. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
