That 'exposed to the weather' clause is just nuts. I understand it's purpose (to exclude the bolt action in-lines), but it means I couldn't use a mule's knee on my flintlock. That's just bizarre.
That Investarms Hawken that Hawg suggested would be an excellent choice ASSUMING THE BORE IS CLEAN. Ditto for a Lyman Great Plains Rifle; other good choices would be the Lyman Great Plains Hunter or Deerstalker. Traditions markets some less expensive but nice entry level rifles as well, although I consider them a bit lower on the quality scale.
