That's a pretty bold statement some might challenge.

Match shooting is one of the best tests for the repeatability and accuracy of a rifle. It also tests the ability of the shooter. Lots of practice and confidence are learned when one shoots in a match, which only makes them a better hunting shooter.
Everybody has a "tack driver", no matter the brand. Just ask them.
Yes, they are affordable and a decent first muzzleloader. To make them affordable, the highest quality parts are not used, or they couldn't sell them for $300.
100yd shooting today with any modern inline muzzleloader is a chip shot. High quality rifles start to excel at distance.
