I've got one, nice to have the 209 ignition, had to remove the back sight to install a scope. Front sight is crappy as the plastic rib tends to slide off, but if installing a scope, then it doesn't much matter. very accurate out to 100-125 yds. Has a shorter barrel than most others. Fast and easy to clean with the drop breech. once you mount a scope you cannot remove the drop breech. I think Ipaid $159.00, so you kinda get what you pay for. Once you buy the rifle (any muzzleloader) you pay around $100.00 for accessories such as powder, bullets/sabots, cleaning supplies before you even get to use it. There are alot of better MZ's out there but if you just want to buy a cheap one to see if you are going to like blackpowder shooting, then it's a good way to go.
