RE: Most accurate, Worst, Favorite out of the box Muzzleloader.
Favorite: Pro Hunter in the .50 caliber, stainless Thumbhole stcok. I am hooked on those TH stocks now. I like my Wolf scoped as it is quick short woods walking shooter.
Worst: Traditions Tracker 209, it gave me fits, but it was also my starter gun, blow back and i new nothing about MLing.
High on List my Lyman Deerstalker flint in 50. I never new how much fun it could be to shoot that firestarter.
New and virgin TC New Englander, found one cheap, great shape and reading great things about this caplock.
I am so new I probably don't know good from bad, I do know what is comfortable and fun, that is my judge right now! Cheers to the originator of this thread!

Most accurate was/is My White Super 91 in .451.
Worst was a old TC Firehawk in .58 cal. Never could get that thing to shoot.
My favorite is my White Super 91 in .504. I can load and shoot that gun all day long without swabbing.

Most accurate: 50cal Pro Hunter. Right out of the box it was a shooter. Made it even better with some trigger work I did.
Worst accurate: Out of the three MLs I have owned (and still own) I will have to say my Lyman Deer Stalker...but don't get me wrong...it's a good shooter and I love to shoot PRB out of her. Out of the box with the flip up rear sight it shot good but I improved that with a Lyman Peep.
Favorite: The Pro Hunter but I'm really likeing that 45cal Accura with the thumbhole stock.

I noticed your Lyman Deer Stalker not being accurate. Did you know it's a 1 and 48 twist? I have had alot better success with 1 and 66 twist using prb. My DeerStalker is really accurate with Sabots.

No...actually I think it is accurate. I use it for PRB mostly and realize a slower twist may be better for that projectile but that's what I enjoy shooting out of her. I have tried sabots also but like to use my inlines for that type of shooting.
In other words...I do not have any inaccurate guns. But of the three I own I guess I would have to rate the Lyman least accurate. But that could be because I haven't experimented enough with it.
