I agree. While I like my Lyman Great Plains rifle it isn't made in the USA. Had T/C still been offering the Hawken I'd prob have purchased that instead just b/c it WAS made in the USA.
Virtually every BP hunting show on the Outdoor Channel these days has hunters using a T/C inline muzzleloader. They look quite impressive - tho personally it's not my idea of a BP firearm. To each is own of course....
