GOB,
The modern inlines, break open or bolt action, are inexpensive compared to Traditional muzzleloaders. I saw bolt action CVAs in .45 and .50 caliber for under $200 recently at the local feed store. I looked the rifles over and they seemed ok for the purpose of hunting. They used the #209 Shotgun primer and would consume big powder charges.
These guns are modern-looking and do extend the hunting season for meat hunters, who are accostomed to modern rifles. I prefer flintlock and caplocks for my muzzleloader hunting.
