What was your first??

I agree Muley... but to those of us that have owned T/C rifles since their inception, their fit and finish was second to none as far as mass produced muzzleloaders are concerned. Maybe that's why guy's like me own so many of them. Try and buy a NIB Cherokee or Seneca today and see what the asking price is.

My first was a T/C Hawkins 50 cal percussion kit my brother got me for Christmas 1976. He belonged to a club that did a bunch of rowdy shoots and wanted me to join in with him and his friends. I never did join the club but shot several events they held thru a year. About 1989 or so I found the iron sights just didn't work with my getting old (43 yrs.) eyes so bought a T/C plains 50 cal rifle which was drilled and tapped for a scope.
I still have both yet today and shoot them often. I also have a pair of Remington 700's one a 50 and the other a 54.
I didn't start hunting deer with a Muzzle loader every year till the late 1980's.
Just got my first deer with my 50 cal Remington this last season.

Mine was a dbbl 12 from imported from India. Bought it from a BP only gun shop in Wichita called 4 flags trading post back in 77 for $110. Small game beware! Fun gun to shoot. left barrel sends sparks from the cap down into your arm. I got some small tattooing there from that gun. (It takes #12 caps.)

I'll jump in. First muzzleloader was a Thompson Omega stainless with a gray and black laminated stock followed by another Omega a couple years ago. Why another? Happened to see it in stainless and walnut and had to have it. I have a Renegade .54 coming in the next couple days also.
