Some good advice here. The mountain rifle is a good choice especially if you find one with a barrel marked Made in USA. Those are Douglas barrels. The mountain rifle has a 1:66 round ball twist. Another good one is the Lyman Great Plains. It has a 1:60 round ball twist. I'm not sure but I don't think the mountain rifle came with a different twist. The only drawback to the cheaper guns is the locks aren't top shelf and may need a little tweaking to spark reliably and they won't be as fast as a quality lock.
