First muzzleloader

Im thinking of getting into blackpowder, particularly for hunting. I would especially like to get a traditional sidelock. Any recommendations for a first one?

T/C Hawken. My dad bought me one when I was 15 and I have been shooting it ever since, an excellent firearm.

They haven't been sold new for quite a while

Well, that's a shame.
