Get a Knight bighorn, disc extreme or other and search Sabotloader on google and here. I was new in 2016/17, was recommended a Knight by my boss, sabotloaders posts covered every question I had and was a lifesaver, even though I never talked with him or responded to any posts, loads of info he has written and has others on here.
No matter what gun you decide on, make sure you get one of the Williams peep sites to go with it. The fiber optic one has been a game changer for me.
I sure like my Knight Disc-extreme with the thumbhole stock. I was really focusing on the bolt action and the thumbhole was just dumb luck for me, but it carries nice and shoots great.
Tried the peeps. Hated it in the timber. Took it off and went back to open.When it comes to misfires I have had exactly 0 in over 25 years while actually hunting. Originally used a Wolverine. Then a Bighorn for the last 15 or so years. Did have 1 misfire target shooting. Operator error. I have done nothing special to protect from weather and hunted for days on end in downpours without reloading. I do swear by RWS #11 caps. And loose powder. At least as good as 209 primers. And I don't bring my rifle into a hot house in the evening when I've been in really cold weather.I'm so confident that my muzzleloader will work when I want it to that I don't even bring a possibilities bag. I only bring my speed loaders.
