Has anyone had any experience with this rifle? I see that it now has a single aperture sight, rather than the previous twin flip-up rib sights, which would indicate barrel regulation. I wonder how this new rifle shoots? Thanks.

I have no experience with them. I found this on the internet, and it doesn’t give me a feeling of much promise.

This flintlock version seems to print both barrels to the same elevation, and the slight horizontal spread can probably be reduced by altering the charge weight up or down (or in his case a bit more or less semolina).

And he reviewed the rifle you are asking about 11 years ago.

Again very consistent elevation.

The barrel regulation appears quite good in the Cap and Ball video. The version with the twin sights on the rib allows for zeroing each barrel. If the current model is that well-regulated $2000 does not seem much to ask for a double rifle, even if a muzzle loader.

Thanks for the information!
