The Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken is a heavy gun.
There's nothing wrong with it as a starter gun if you don't mind a 10 pounder.

What's nice about muzzle loading is that price or brand is not the determining factor of how much fun and enjoyment a person will have while firing it. A person can have as much fun firing a $100 gun as he would firing a $1000 gun. The important thing is getting the one that you like, and which feels good and fits good. But the level of accuracy and overall quality is also important to liking a gun. There's always going to be some qualitative differences and trade-offs between models of a different price range. But some of the differences are subjective and difficult to quantify. Most all percussion guns on the market today shoot reasonably well.
