I bought one for one of my boys for Christmas, the blue with camo stock. I have been somewhat impressed with it, especially for the price. Some complain that the length of pull is a little short but I find it just fine. The fit and finish of ours is perfect and it shoots better than my encore ever could and every bit as good as either of my Knight Discs. The latch for the breech is a little different but when you get used to it is convenient for both right and left hand shooters. It is handier to tote around than my knights and considering that it shoots as well I am thinking about buying one for myself. The only thing that I consider a negative so far, and it probably isn't really that negative, is the latch for the breech is made of plastic. It would probably never fail but if it did there is a lifetime warrantly so it would be fixed. Long story short I highly recommend it. It is a nice entry level muzzleloader and made in the USA.
