To be really honest the modern inlines such as the TC and other well made guns are much more expensive than the better traditional muzzleloaders. many of the Encore muzleloaders will cost considerably more than a thousand dollars The Knights, Austin & Halleck and the White muzzleloaders are up there too..Think the White is now extinct. The Savage smokeless muzzleloader is also up in the 650-900 dollar range. The Savage is the only one of todays muzzleloaders..inline and traditional.. that has been proof tested. I prefer my Savage inline mainly because I don't have to clean it evey time I shoot it..it is much cheaper to shoot, more reliable, far better for longer ranges out here and more accurate by far than most any muzzleloader I have ever shot. Most people who shoot inlines are just everyday hunters who want to get out in any extra seasons they can participate in...not just meat hunters as Adam somewhat derogatorily calls 'em. All people that hunt and take an animal are meat hunters...even Adam. That being said I do like the old caplocks especially shooting the roundball. Always worked well and will take a deer for certain. but the ranges are surely not long for most muzzleloading... and out here in Wyoming..ranges can be long at times. Deer at the house will be just fine for my ol roundball shooter though. Using my camoflage pillow, bathrobe and coffee cup. LOL. Lots of whitetails round here. They eat my garden all summer so i think it should be just fine to have one a them for din din myself
