Before paying that much for the new Remington, look at a smokeless muzzleloader. The amount of crud from four pellets has to be a real mess, not to mention the recoil. I have several friends who have Savage smokeless muzzleloaders in one form or another and several others have Remington first generation muzzleloaders that have been converted to .45 caliber smokeless. A friend of mine does several conversions per year as a sideline.
