The two sides of the fence with this rifle is an old argument or disagreement for better words. Those that question BPI quality and safety, and of course those that do not. If money is an issue, then this is a place you can look and still purchase an inline muzzleloader.

Almost any inline muzzleloader these days, no matter what brand,will normally provide adaquate hunting accuracy out to 100 yards and some even more so. Throw some optics on there and no telling what the rifle will do.

If your looking for a rifle to add a few more days to your hunting every year, then about any rifle will do. If you want something that thirty years from now will still be shooting excellent and putting meat on the table, then you might want to invest more money in something. Of course you can always do that. Nothing wrong with have more then one rifle.
