Yes, I am very happy with the accuracy! Stunned would be more like it. (On my second 5 shot group at 50 yds, benched, the first shot went a little high, from a clean barrel, and then I put the next 3 in one hole, pulled the 5th one an inch rt.)

I remember my uncle had a muzzleloader years ago and, when it went off, he usually wasn't even on the paper.

WHAT ABOUT Scopes?? I see a lot of "muzzleloader specific" scopes. The Konus Pro that came on mine is OK, but I plan on upgrading to a better scope and was going to use just a regular rifle scope.
I have always used rifle scopes on my muzzleloaders. I'm currently using a Sightron S2 3-9x42 on my TC Omega.
