I'm looking to buy a new muzzloader for deer hunting and would like to know who makes the best without breaking the bank. As in under $500, preferably not over $400. We only have two weeks of blackpowder deer season here in NC and I don't want to put big $$ into a rifle that will be used that little. I've borrowed my dad's T/C Firehawk in .54 cal for the past few years and taken several deer with it, but I want one of my own. I'd like to shoot .45 caliber, but .50 would be OK if the gun I need isn't offered in .45. I want one that uses .209 primers of course, and I'd like for it to be stainless because it makes cleaning SOO much easier.

Suggestions?
