Traditions introduces a breech loading inline muzzleloader

Even though I prefer a sidelock or flintlock, to each his own.
BTW: I can load just about any CF cartridge under .50/per cartridge.

Open up muzzle loading hunt seasons to modern center fire rifles and the market for the cheat guns goes away. Traditionalists will still use the real muzzleloaders, though many will stick to private lands to avoid the crowds.

You were allowed one deer a year, period.
Now we have 6 weeks archery, an week long early muzzleloader season, 2 weeks antlered which includes 1 week of antlered or anterless, the a late flintlock and archery season about 3 weeks. Using my antlered tag, DMAP tag, and 2 anterless tags I can legally shoot 4 deer a year. More in certain area with the purchase of additional tags.

Oh BTW, our deer populations around the areas I hunt have surely not bounced back from the onslaught of too many deer being taken legally.  This year I've seen a total of 2 deer plus the one my grandson shot.  I hunted archery, early muzzleloader, rifle and late flintlock season.  And being retired I was out a lot.  This is the first time in probably over 30 years that I got skunked.

I don't believe they are cheat guns anymore than some prefer a flintlock to a sidelock....etc.
BTW: The inlines are here to stay but will only improve.
If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck....it's a duck.
That being said, as far as muzzleloaders go, I prefer the sidelock and flintlock. My choice, your choice, their choice.
As I have always said, if you don't like the gun, don't use it.

We already have taken our muzzleloaders during center fire season, never saw any of the center fire boys piss and moan about us hunting with muzzleloaders.......your choice, my choice, their choice.....no sense in flippin' out over trivial technicalities right

Since you are all about choice, open up muzzleloader hunt season to modern centerfire rifles so that the market for these cheat guns will go away. Call it a general firearms season.

Traditionalists like myself will continue to use muzzleloaders rather than cheat guns. After a time, we will lobby for traditional muzzleloader hunt season.

Heck if I had the money and really wanted say and elk tag, I could pretty easily get one by "contributing' to a state governor. Contributing here is just another word for bribery!
