Then we have the custom market for inlines. Inline muzzleloaders that can cost upwards of $4,000.
"These custom rifles are more accurate than most centerfire rifles in many cases.
I find it no more difficult than any other rifle. "
Where is the fun in that if its so easy?
Modern inlines with todays modern scopes, powders, projectiles completely defeats the true intended purpose of muzzleloading!
Inline muzzleloaders are cheaters? No, the shooter just cheats themselves out of the TRUE tradition of muzzleloading by taking the easy way out by putting on a scope, using modern projectiles and powder.
Now you'll hear the modern crowd bringing up the traditional black powder groups that shoot open sights, 1000 yard groups at paper...... At paper... Not going out in the field hunting big game and taking them from 400-500+ yards. A stray bullet doesn't wound paper when it misses its mark.
Again, nothing against inlines. Just when you hear folks saying how accurate their custom inline is and how these custom rifles are more accurate than most centerfires are... That draws a perfect picture as to why some states limit to you open sights.
There's is absolutely NOTHING traditional about carrying a scoped inline muzzleloader into the field and blasting away at game from 400+ yards away.
If you are looking for an easy way to harvest game, stick with the centerfire during rifle season. Or better, keep that scoped inline out of muzzleloader season and hunt rifle season.
No challenge using scopes & high tech gear/gimmicks!
