While I am sure it is a great rifle, it is not yet earned its reputation among the muzzleloaders that hunt and target shoot. People like you and me. I like the first hand accounts from people who are not being paid to saynicethings. Also I have no need for another inline rifle. The older technology does not bother me in the least. Since I got my White Rifle I have to force myself to shoot the other inline rifles I own. So I would simply say, very nice, but not for me thanks.
