TC Encore is nice. Whatever you buy, make sure it has an extractor for the primer. I've got a CVA Kodiak that the primer can get stuck. It's a lever action and poens the breech. I have to keep a little screw driver with me to get it out if I need to reload. My Encore has an extractor and pulls the primer out when you crack it open. The other good thing about the Encore is that you get other barrels for it. In addition to the muzzle loader, I've got a 12ga. slug barrel and a 30.06.
