Ok, This might have made it to the ML forum but I always lookhere for a review of a rifle/pistol before looking anywhere else so here's what I found.
Accuracy seems pretty good, fit is great, reliability is on par

After shooting it a few times, I found that cleaning after every shot is a good bet for consistency, could be this rifle I suppose. After about 10 shots, the breech starts getting hard to shove up and down because burnt powder works its way in there. You can just shove it out and wipe the junk off it with a rag. By the way, I hadnt lubed anything so this may have been the issue. It breaks down in the field pretty good, even the firing pin can be removed in the field if there is a problem.
I got mine for about 120 so considering the dough, it is a real good value. EJ

Switch to CCI 209's, I have a bolt action muzzleloader and i find CCI's to be the cleanest when it comes to primer "blowby" Winchester w209, remington kleanbores leave a nasty oily residue on the inside of the primer area and fouls up fast. Even Federal 209s are clean but the cci's have been the cleanest in my rifle.

I read your comment and went to my shooting bag to check. I actually was using cci's but I am thinking the breech just might not seal as well as a break open. A possible design flaw.EJ
