Another factor in my mind is demand. I myself am much more inclined to grab a muzzle loading rifle in pursuit game than a muzzle loading shotgun. I like the challenge of getting close to big game to make the shot. I like single barrel rifles better than double rifles but do appreciate a nice double. The fact that for some odd reason Colorado law prohibits the use of doubles for hunting during muzzle loader season does make them less desirable here. If you really want one be patient, they do show up occasionally.
