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.
Agree. My initial comment was largely tongue-in-cheek.
I certainly get a chuckle out of the non-stop CVA bashing based on issues from 20 years ago.
Personally I'm concerned about shooting deer out to 200 yards in which a CVA happens to excel.
For a hunting rifle under $500, it can't be beat for out of the box accuracy with the Bergara made barrels.,
