I second cjc. My CVC inline has been a hoot to shoot, and I LOVE shooting BP. I went with a slightly higher priced model, but the bbl is probably the same. I was happy that I got a scopeable gun, as round balls & conicals shoot to a different point. I keep the open sights set for round balls, & the scope is set for conicals, on top of a see-through mount. Accuracy is good, knockdown is impressive, & I've never had a problem with it. I'm more than "not disappointed", I'm happy with it. Again, I second everything that cjc said, but that's just my .02, as I don't have any experience with any other brand.
