A muzzleloader IS a rifle. I never said CF. A good muzzy is more accurate and better handling than any shotgun IMO......
Would be interested to know how your "muzzy" is more of a rifle than say a Savage 220. From the Oxford dictionary: "Rifle, a gun, especially one fired from shoulder level, having a long spirally grooved barrel intended to make a bullet spin and thereby have greater accuracy over a long distance". I have many muzzleloaders and many years experience with them. While it would be my choice, I wouldn't recomend it to someone with no experience unless they're interested in learning the sport first.
