I got another ML,a Optima Pro thumbhole nickle on Clearance at Gander Mountain with Berrgara barrel and claw sling for $220 , put a Mueller 4.5-14APV for $115 and your under your amount. I shot it a little today some bullets shot under 1-2". The Barnes 290TMZ with 135 gr ff shot under 1" goups @ 82 Yards. Shop around -there are some deals right now.

I would look at a Knight KRB7 in blue. Throw a scope on that and you have all the rifle you would ever need for that kind of money. If you went to a stainless, you would still be under the $350.00 but the scope might run you over your budget...

That is a good deal for a scoped ML. If the Barnes TMZ is shooting that well for you, then this would be a very deadly combo to about 175 yards I would say, and at an excellent price. I don't think you could do better with a Knight, TC or Savage. Chap Gleason

Gotta mention the T/C Omega...

Without question.. there are a lot of good muzzleloaders out there. Depending on what you want the rifle to do, and the price range. That's why you should never rush into a rifle. Look at as many of them out there as possible. Handle and shoot any you can. Then make your decision. Something to keep in mind... From reading a report about the new 209 powder out there.. it takes a closed breech system like the Rolling Block or the Omega to use the powder. My understanding is, the open breech design of some rifles will not work properly. That leaves me out of the picture since I do not own one, unless my Disc is considered a closed breech with the primer holder, which I somewhat am not sure about.
