Roskoe, I think it is more about fitforthe individual shooter. While I don't doubt your results at all, the next guy may have a different experience. My Encore muzzleloader will kick the yard dog poop out of you with a load that is easily handled in a White. The Knight Elite also handles recoil well with the heavy conical loads I like to shoot. Even the Huntsman seems to handle recoil better than my Encore.

That doesn't mean I don't like the Encore (or my G2 but WATCH OUT there! ). I truly like both rifles but find neither of them to be comfortable with heavy loads. CFbarrels might be a different story for me but doubt I ever know.
