I have used a 18.5 inch mossberg with rifle sites and it is accurate enough at 80 yards. Another option would be a saddle mount for a scope. With that setup it worked well out to 110 yards. Most shots are less than 50 yards anyway. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=XQSM4500 A cheap scope will limit you to around 100 yards but that is plenty to start out.
You may find another barrel for around $100, and a muzzleloader for less than $200. For a new shooter, a muzzleloader will take a lot of practice to find the right load for your gun. Best thing would be to just get out and get some experience this year, then every year you will upgrade your equipment a little at a time.
