Has anyone shot the traditions ultra light pursuit 50cal 26 inch barrel? Looking for a smooth accurate muzzle loader that will go to 200 yards. Had a nightmare experience with the cva optima.

I have a Traditions vortek which uses the same (LT1) alloy frame and a 2" longer barrel. I can shoot 1 1/4" groups at 100 yds with with 250 gr Barnes spitfires and 95 grs of Blackhorn 209. I've been really happy with the rifle, it's lightweight and it cleans up pretty easily. No complaints after 2 years, took a nice 140lb doe at 75 yds this last year.

Never tried traditions but my TC triumph bone collector is accurate to 200 plus. Shooting a 300 grain Thor bullet n 150 grains of pellets. I hope to switch to loose powder soon and make it better.
