I' ve never shot a flintlock, but I used to have a caplock version of the T/C Hawken which I since gave to my brother that was a very accurate rifle. It had a moderate twist rate and I fed it with lighter conicals and it was just as accurate as my Knight. Make sure you ask about the rifles twist rate before you buy it as the twist rate will determine what kind of bullet the gun will favor. A lot of flintlocks have slow twist (1-in-66" or thereabouts) and will only shoot roundballs and certain very light conicals accurately but won' t stabilize a heavier conical or sabot bullet. On the other hand, if you want to shoot patched roundball then you don' t really want a fast twist (i.e. > 1-in-36" ) as it will severely overstabilize a roundball.

With the right bullet and load combo any T/C ML will be accurate enough to take any shot within the limits inherent to ML' s. The most challenging thing about the flintlock is that the slower lock/ignition time requires a steadier hand and good follow through, but if you do your part the gun will do its part.
