Pedersoli is perhaps the best of the "mass produced" muzzleloaders but over the past few years they have gotten a bit costly. I think for the price of the "Rocky Mt. Hawken" I would perfer a custom build or even an "in-the-white" custom. Pedersoli barrels are pretty good but I feel that Green Mountain barrels are better round ball shooters, at least in my own experience GM barrels do out shoot Pedersoli barrels with the traditional patched round ball.
