This summer Im looking at buying a muzzleloader. Any suggestions? keep in mind that Im in high school and don't have a huge budget. Maybe in the $300-400 range.
Thanks

Take a look at CVA's line up. You get lot for your money including a lifetime warranty.
T/C 's are one of the best out there as far as I'm concerned. My lil' bro had a CVA and loved it. We still use it for a "borrow" gun during thee season.
Thompson Center does make great guns. My 1 hunting partner uses a traditions and loves it another uses CVA and another uses Knight. I wouldn't trade my Omega unless for the Bone Collector Edition.
Traditions Firearms makes both an inline kit and a flintlock kit that gives you everything you need except for powder to start muzzleloader hunting. It's called the Redi-Kit and you can find both styles of rifle- the flintlock for around 270 bucks at Cabelas or the inline for 200 bucks. Even cheaper than your 300-400 dollar range. And believe me, they shoot great! My family has killed some deer with them!
You can get a pretty darn good muzzleloader with a quality scope for $300-400. Personally, I've been looking at the CVA optima ($199.99). Slap a Nikon 2-7x pro staff scope ($139.99) on that baby and you're ready to hunt!
I recently spent 3 days trying to shoot a CVA ML 1000 times with powerbelt bullets. They are good guns. I plan to get one before next season.
