looking for something easy to clean, something simple, 50 cal, scopeable, light weight, easy to get the primer on/off, reasonable quality, shorter type barrel etc.
Someone suggested a Traditions Pursuit.
Is that close to what I'm looking for?
Are there others to chose from meeting this criteria?

All of the inline stuff is pretty much the same as far as "basic function" and design. More bucks gets you fancier, better fit/finish, camo vs black, stainless barrel, fiber sights or scope etc.

If you are new to using a muzzle loader and "think" you are going to really get into it, spend a little more because you will just want better "later" if you do stick with it.

If you are just testing the water you can get a Traditions Buckstalker "kit", already scoped, with some added kit (almost everything you need except the powder/pellets) for about $400.

The Pursuit that you mention comes in a scoped model - the G4 Ultralight - and it is a very nice rifle. The rifle itself lists for about 500 bucks and you can count on at least another 100 bucks for pellets/powder, bullets/sabot's, cleaning supplies, a couple other jags, primers etc. Personally, if I was looking for an "inline", that particular model would be high on my list if I wanted to keep it under a grand - but I plan on sticking with my side hammers :)
 
my son spotted a sale at Cabela's, a Traditions with a huge scope on it 3x9x40, about a hundred bucks off, but I don't want that big of a scope.

I had a Safari Arms with 2 barrels many yrs ago, a 50 cal and a 54 cal, did a little ML hunting, but haven't gone since. This yr my son is going to be available for my partner, so I want to get set up a-sap.
