Is there much accuracy difference between a Long Range Hunter and a Elite? Pros and cons comparing the two. I have been thinking of taking advantage on one of the deals out there. Is the Long Range Hunter worth the extra money?

I can really only speak about the LRH....I have one in LH and it is a spectacular rifle....the only negative I can think of is that it is a bit on the heavy/bulky side....great in a tree stand but I wouldn't want to carry one up an ELk mountain!

The Elite will be the better all around choice. Accuracy, stock, cleaning, weight, cheaper.  |

im not real fond of the extra safety device located on the hammer of the LRH, just something else to think about in the heat of the moment

I ordered the Elite. Like I need another muzzleloader. What is the favorite fodder for these rifles. I am hoping a 200 grain SST in a Harvestor sabot will work well. Hopefully Blackhorn 209 will ignite well. Does anyone know what size scope bases I need?

Yankee, I'm confused. I've got a LRH and I don't have a clue what you are talking about on the extra safety. Knights (MK 85, T-bolt, Bighorn, Disc (all models) wolverine have all got the secondary safety if that's what you are talking about. I take it off except when raising or lowering the rifle into the stand. If you are talking about something else that I'm not aware of please enlighten me
