I bought myself a birthday present back in March. Today was the first chance I've had to shoot it. I got a Traditions .50 cal Buckstalker. I was floored by the accuracy right out of the box. The weight is minimal for a black powder rifle in my opinion. My first 3 shot group was high & left, second three shot group was high, and the third was close enough for me to call it good. These were shot at 100 yards with open sights (fiber optic), 300gr Hornady SST sabots and 150gr of pyrodex (3 pellets). For a $149.99 rifle this is AWESOME!!
