I have one but I have not had a chance to shoot it yet. If you find the gun sold with a scope included you might be able to get both for around $150.00. That will put the rifle in the cost range of about $100.00. The gun is tight, it breaks open and closes with no slop or play.
If it shoots anything like my other Traditions rifles I'm sure it will shoot no less than 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards. And that's about the best I can do with any muzzleloader. Be aware that the recoil pad is solid rubber. I am about to check into seeing if the replacement pad for the Pursuit will fit the Buckstalker. Also be aware that the Buckstalker is available with a green synthetic stock. Here are the last 2 targets I shot with a nearly identical rifle, a Traditions Canyon. The only difference I can find between the two is the Buckstalker has fiber optic sights and the Canyon does not. Please note that I have not attempted to shoot this rifle with anything other than Blackhorn 209 and that I tend to have a difficult time shooting good groups when I use that powder for some reason. Also, with a 1.5 X 3 mm O-ring installed in the primer pocket of the breech plug you will get virtually no blow back. But also be aware that by using the O-ring you will scrape the paint off of the face of the receiver where the firing pin hole is. I think it is a very good rifle for the price.
