RE: muzzleloader
Well, here's good news: lots of choices in muzzleloaders. If you want traditional, to re-enact what hunting/shooting was like 200 years ago, you can get it. If you want to hunt muzzleloader season, you can get a capable inline for very little money - or you can spend a lot.
you want to hunt, and want simple? Get a CVA or Knight or T/C, get some powder & 240gr XTP sabots, got to the range/back yard and practice, and then go kill deer.
I've bought two low-end CVA inlines and added low-powered scopes; both work very well, and kill deer dead. Using powder instead of pellets and shooting XTP sabots are economical & effective. Everything beyond that & about 130 yards, is preference & food for disputation.
