I Just bought one from Gander - a 50 cal synthetic stock/stainless barrel, scoped w/a 3-9. Only 20 shots through it - and it is my 1st Muzzleloader. After sighting in the scope (about 10 rounds) all I can say is WOW. While group sizes were not on par w/my 22-250, or 06 for that matter, I am TOTALLY confident that any deer that walks within 150 yards of me is hamburger.....
