Black powder Varmint rifles

I haven't yet started searching the web. I figured that this site would be the best place to start.
Are there any muzzle loading varmint rifles available on the market? I'm thinking .243 or smaller caliber, capable of accurate shot placement well over 100 yards. Something that chucks bullets that will minimize pelt damage.

If I'm reading your laws correctly only shotguns are permitted (daytime) unless it's during the deer gun season then slug guns and muzzle loaders are permitted.

You can still use your rifle on crows !!!

When I thought about a black powder "varmint rifle" I looked at .36 caliber "Kentucky/Pennsylvania" style rifles. Something like this:

I was thinking a .45 cal inline shooting a sabot with .38 cal bullets would work out to about 200 yards.

It seems as if they have all but disappeared though !!!
