Best Muzzleloader?

I am looking to get into shooting a Muzzleloader and eventually hunting with one. Which rifle do you guys prefer? Looking for accuracy, longest range possible, and toughness (use in extreme conditions).

To be legal in Washington, I would start looking at the Knight Bighorn and TC Black Diamond. Nod goes to the Bighorn though.

I haven't looked at muzzleloaders in years but I'm very happy with my MK-85 predator.

Best?? Not sure there's a best. Just alot of damn good one's. I mush prefer the TC Firehawk in an inline and a Lyman Deerstalker SS/walnut in a side hammer!
