Ruger #1.
Not as "modern" as the plastic stocked inlines that load from the muzzle---- but a lot classer, prettier, more accurate, having longer range, and just as much in keeping with foundational ideas from which muzzleloading seasons were established.
In fact a sharps 1874 is a lot more "primitive'" then a plastic stocked, scoped inline, and so is a lever action 30-30. Or any iron-sighed revolver.
They should all be allowed in primitive weapons seasons long before the newer types of inlines
If using inlines in regular rifle seasons I am in full support.
But they are more modern then any of the weapons I listed above ------------ and so I can't see any reason to give them special seasons of licenses.
Guess I missed where he said he wanted to use it in a special season, just "want to try a modern inline". Seems the mere mention of "inline" gives some folk the vapors.
