What muzzle loader can I get for under $400 that will shoot accurately and well repeatedly? I have been told to get a CVA is this a good option? Thanks!
I believe any muzzle loader you buy for under $400 is just as good as the next $400 muzzle loader. You can't shoot shot after shot after shot through any muzzle loader without cleaning the bore after every few shots. The powder from the primer plugs the breech hole and the powder from the powder fowls the barrel so much that it will slow the projectile down and reduce penetration as well as reduce the limit of accuracy. I myself own a Thomson Center Encore black powder and .17HMR barrel.
All Jokes aside if you are looking for a reliable cheap well built well shooting muzzleloader the CVA Wolf is very reliable!! i have owned mine for four years now and it is the best shooting other than my traditions kit gun that my grandfather built that i own!! just my 2 cents worth
Ive shot lots a black powder guns and so far the Thompson center rifles are the best in my book......... I guess them inline rifles with a 1 in 27 twist might shoot better...
