Ok, I give up, we will just have to agree to disagree.

However, I will also disagree with you on one more point. I shoot 2 inlines and 1 sidelock. To be honest, I would put my T/C renegade up against my Omega and Knight LRH as far as accuracy. I don't believe that an inline is inherently any more accurate than a sidelock. Once you pull that trigger and it goes bang, the renegade barrel has shot just as accurate for me as the other two. I use my inlines more because they are easier to use and clean, but I still enjoy my renegade and still take it elk hunting from time to time.

My contention is that scopes and sabots are what is making muzzleloaders more accurate and a longer range weapon, not inlines. But that is truly speculation and your opinion is as valid as mine.

Again, I have no inherent bias against scopes. If Colorado legalized them, would I use one? Absolutely! But I think I would be hunting there less. Again, speculation on my part, but I think I make some pretty good arguments.
