Pros: Excellent balance, superb accuracy
Cons: Buttplate

Excellent shooting rifle, good quality, great sparker when ordered in flintlock.

One thing i hate about mine is that the rear buttplate, towards the top is cupped to much and likes to hit your collar bone. Not very comfortable when shooting in a t-shirt and a heavy load.

Pros: as mentioned above
Cons: lenght of pull

Over all this is a great lower priced flinter. And over all I love it!
BUT this is not a rifle I would recomend to mail order only. I think its one you absolutly should try and shoulder it first, to make sure it fits you well. Im not a very big guy but the short length of pull makes it very hard to line up the sights correctly and keep the rifle in a comfortable postion.

Pros: Nice to shoot, reasonably accurate, easy to clean.
Cons: Fixed sights, short ram rod.

Butt plate is very unconfortable if held into the shoulder, however if held just above the arm pit, between the shoulder and the end of the bicept it is quite comfortable and lines up well for off hand shooting.
