Does this rifle have a decent flintlock?

I am thinking of a gift item for a lady friend so that she has a deer rifle. I wish it were available in .54 caliber for use on elk with patched ball, but maybe the REAL bullet from LEE will get the job done in .50 caliber.

I fair bit of experience with flintlocks, but not this model. Some reviews:

If you lady friend has no experience with muzzleloaders, you may want her to first try out a percussion rifle. I have a friend who has picked up some good deals on this forum.
