For accuracy; youir choice of musket?

Hey y'all,
For live shooting and all round use, what is your favorite rifled-musket, or shall I say which is your favorite right out of the box?
Over the years I have owned several enfields, both Euroarms and Armi, two or three 1861 Springfields and three or four 1863 Springfields, and a couple of Sharps. I do a lot of live firing. Personally, I love the 1863 Springfield. I love the way it feels (its lighter than the 1861) when I hold it to my shoulder. It just feels natural or something. Also, out of all the ones I have shot over the years, the 1863 Springfields were the most accurate ones to shoot with more consistant grouping.
Just wondered what y'all liked.
Take care,
Dave
