Default muzzle loader suggestion

I have permission in the bow zone which has a primitive weapon season in december. I'm looking for a decent muzzle loader to get started but reasonably priced in case it's not my thing.
I may just end up using my shotgun but like the idea of trying something new

I would buy a used higher end one instead of a new cheap one.
I really like the savage ML they also fire smokeless powder.
Cheers

Default Muzzleloaders

I purchased a Thompson Omega thru SIR out of winnipeg a year ago and I have been extremely pleased with it, put a 3-9 scope on it a Bushnell and can shoot out the bulls eye at 100 yards without a problem. Would highly recommend one and the price isn't bad. I use Triple 7 pellets and shoot 250 gr Hornady SST.
