I have owned dozens of muzzleloaders including models from Knight, CVA, Remington and a pile if TC models from over the last 35 years....The most consistantly accurate rifles I have had were either Remington's or the CVA's with the Bergara barrels, I also liked the feel of TC's Encore rifle ( I have owned a dozen of these) but I found them generally less accurate and more picky about the particular load I was shooting......For the money My vote goes to CVA for now.......Good luck.....Hb
