First Mizzleloader

[SylvanTroller]

Any recommendations for an affordable muzzleloader? Looking into getting one and like most things the options appear endless. Was looking at the CVA wolf with fiber optic sights. Thoughts? Thanks.

I have cva accura v2 great gun. With konus scope.

[SylvanTroller]

Thanks guys. I was thinking to go with sights as everything I have is scoped. Thought it might be nice to get back to basics. Hard to beat the view of a scope though.

I'm with duckman. CVA Accura V2 with the nitride finish. Amazing gun. The CVA Optima is another good choice.

Yup I too run the Accura V2.... awsome gun! The Optima is a great gun for the price. Only difference between the to is the Accura comes with a Bargara barrel. Easy to clean and shoots great!

Call CVA. They used to sell guns that had been returned for 135 bucks. They won't tell you what gun you are getting. I got a stainless barrel and a thumbhole stock.

I've got a CVA wolf. In my opinion you don't need to spend any more. Very good gun.

I got a great deal years back on the TC Omega Z5. El Cheapo plastic stock but with a Beartooth comb raising kit and a good scope it made a $250 gun into something very decent.  Whatever gun you get I strongly recommend using Blackhorn 209 powder.  Easy to clean and you can shoot many times in between swabbings and it can be cleaned with regular solvent.  You just have to make sure you use Magnum shotshell primers with the Blackhorn but the stuff is far and away the best.  Lots of good bullets out there but I like the Precision rifle 240 grain dead centers out of Canada.  They load and shoot great.  Good luck.

Thanks for the advice fellas. I was able to contact CVA and they no longer sell refurbished muzzleloaders.

I have a TC Z5 Omega- 50 cal with a thumb-hole stock.  I believe i'm in my 7th season with it.  It's been a great gun and I've harvested 95% of my deer with it since purchase.  Added a 3x9 scope and it's a tack driver.  Experiment with different sabots, but i prefer the 250 grain super glides. My son Caleb turned 14 this past Tuesday and harvested his first deer on Saturday with it.

 

[ignaszak]

Forgot to add that the 250 grain sabots that i shoot are shockwaves.....

[DJ 17]

TC Omega thumbhole here as well, with a Nikon BDC muzzleloader scope on top. 250 gr shockwave in a super glide sabot. 150 gr of 777 pellets. Have had it for 10 years. Works great.  When I run out of 77 pellets I will try the Blackhorn 209 powder though.

That's impressive!

thank you, I also use the blackhorn 209 WEIGHTED at 77grains

You never clean a MZ with a Petroleum product, your barrel will never cure! Hoppies is for smokeless powder!

[justtracytrolling]

Once you have/try a smokeless powder muzzleloader you will never look at another muzzleloader...

Bought the T/C Impact 3 yrs. ago so I could get into M/Ling. The thought was it would be a starter gun. Like it so much I don't presently see the need to change. Think at the time it was just a bit over $200.00 w/o a scope.

TC Bone Collector for me, never change now !!!
