The only advantage to having "inline" muzzleloading rifles available is that it gets more "shooters" into the woods to kill more deer when the deer population is growing every year. However, they should wait until the modern rifle season begins to use their modern, single shot rifles, because that is what they are. But then they wouldn't use the "inline," preferring an auto-loader, lever gun, or bolt action rifle instead.

Just my $0.02. Somebody needed to say it.
