It seems that some folks on here think such and such gun is only good because such and such shoots it in such and such competition each year.

Did you buy your current muzzle loader because its a brand used at a shooting competition or because it fit your build, fit your budget, fit the overall needs of a hunter?

Me personally, its always about fit. I've handled many muzzies that felt totally awkward when shoulder, sights didnt line up, working the action felt funky, even had one rifle which had a very curved trigger which caused you to work your hand into an uncomfortable position so you could squeeze it correctly.

Accuracy these days IMO isn't an issue with any of the current muzzle loader brands.

Trigger pull can vary as with any firearm.

Clean shooting? Ehhhh.... I like my inlines to shoot clean but when it comes to a flintlock of percussion, its something you have to live with. They all need to be cleaned so why complain? Put on a good movie or music that relaxes you and take your time.
