Do you want a "traditional" style rifle? Wholesale sports has new Lymans from $560 to $670.
Ellwood Epps sometimes has good used muzzleloaders.
The EE here on the Forum often has some good deals.

If you can wait-the Calgary gun show is your best bet if you are close. Saw T/C Hawkens last year at 375- and could be negotiated down. Usually a fair number of pieces looking for a good home. Later on move on up to whatever pleases you but this would be a good place to start. Cheers
Pedersoli isn't a good choice if he doesn't want to spend too much.

I agree. If one does your homework in checking out a seller's trader rating & perhaps even PMs one or two people who transacted with the seller, one could do a whole lot worse IMO.
All of my blackpowder firearm purchases were very successful here; a Browning made Hawken type percussion rifle, one flintlock smoothbore & the Ruger Old Army revolver.
Your first step should be visiting a local black powder group at a gun range near you and visit with them a bit and see what you like. They will most certainly let you take a round or two to try and get the feel of things. You should consider a time period and or place and time in History that may interest you as MLs vary in style and looks depending the time period and place.
