surestrikeLooking something like this. Do you know if it exists.
Ok I have a .54 cal great plains hunter/rifle. It shoots fine but it is a pain in the butt in the rain.
I was thinking the other day that I would really like something that has a closed action just like the omega. It should use a 209 for ignition.I just don't like the way the omega looks.
So basically I am looking for an omega "type" rifle that looks traditional. It should have an octagonal barrel and a decent wood stock.
Basically a Ruger #1 muzzle loader.
Does it exist?

DoublessI would email "doc@whtemuzzleloading.com". He has built a lot of different designs, and a bunch are "one of a kinds". He can build you what you want. I don't know if he is still doing that, but he possesses the talents and knowledge...

MLKeithNot sure the style is one you would like but I think Cabalas is selling a Rolling block style muzzleloader. Old traditional styling but inline design. Nice wood stock.

nordrsetaThe discontinued but still fairly common T/C Scout might meet your needs.

Sixgun SymphonyTry using a bit of gun grease around the cap to keep out rain.
