I haven't been around because I've been outta pocket with my job, on assignment. Glad to be back, kinda missed you guys, I wasn't able to have any social media contact because of my assignment. Here's my question : My lovely Bride has decided to get involved with me on a couple deer hunts this year. I want to get her a decent muzzleloader, that would fit her good. Any suggestions ?

Depends on what you want to spend. They are all about in the same league anymore. I still lean more toward Knight or a custom. But I shoot .45 cal smoke poles and I hunt with them a lot.
I found over the years that Blackhorn powder is the way to go. Unless you want to spend bigger money and buy a Savage smokeless. Also go with a .209 primer that is sealed from the elements.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

I use a TC Encore, BlackHorn 209, with. TC Shockwave. Mine .50cal. I'm thinking a .45 with the same bullet and powder as I use. Just wondering if there were a ladies/youth model out there that anyone may have some info on. I know to be VERY careful with anything used, especially a muzzleloader. So maybe an Optima or something along those lines.

.45's are getting harder and harder to find.
Nothing wrong with used ones, just make sure they aren't pitted to crap.
I haven't seen a youth model before. Although my son does have one, CVA I believe, that has basically a shock system in the butt stock that takes almost all the recoil away. It's a .50 cal though.
I shoot several. I have White, Gonic, Savage, Knight, and a few more. When we lived in VA we had a month plus muzzleloader season. So it was worth having onenor two
