Any muzzleloader you buy has good and bad points. With this rifle, the good I think out weigh the bad. The ramrod I heard could be better, you need a hammer spur if you scope it, and it does take a plastic primer holder.

The good points are the trigger, out of the box accuracy, and the quality of craftsmanship. I do not own one, only going on that I have read and been told. I have handled them, and they seem well balanced and I like the sights on them.
