With fathers day coming up I was thinking of ideas for my father, I know he has been looking for a few revolvers, but he has mentioned how much he used to shoot bp. He has quite a gun collection but no black powder ones anymore (sold them off many years ago according to him) anyways, time for the questions.

I have been reading up on them a bit, but no idea where to start as far as what is a good brand.

More than likely going with a revolver not rifle, any particular brand to look for? Stay away from? Are the ones Cabelas carry any good? What can I expect to pay for a decent one? I don't really have a budget set, but would rather not drop a grand if he decides its not quite as fun as he remembered.

Thanks.
