Ihave a 50cal optima that i got for chritmas and it shoots very well. Over lapping 3 shot groups at 50 yrds with 370 grain maxiballs and .75" 3 shot groups at 50 yrds with 240 grain xtp both over 100 grain pyrodex pellets with open sights. Over all i am very happy with it but since it is my first ML i don't have a lot to compare it too.
