I've got a Wolf and it preforms just fine. First muzzleloader I've ever owned. I have no experience with a Buckhorn. I can get a great group at 100 yards with it. I'll be trying to harvest my first deer with it this fall. There are more expensive models out there but I bought this one brand new for $100 just to see if muzzleloading is for me. One thing for sure even if I don't like it to deer hunt with and decide to go back to my 1187 I'll keep it just because it's fun to shoot.
