WTB Reliable, accurate, inexpensive Muzzleloader
« on: June 21, 2017, 11:48:05 AM »
I have a multi elk tag this year and need to pick up a muzzleloader. I'm a bow hunter but in the case I don't connect on a bull during archery I want to be set up for success during Muzzy. I'm open to new or used, as long as it's in great condition.  I figured I would get some input/ ideas from you folks. Thanks   :tup:

CVA Wolf is good, low cost entry model for inline muzzleloader.

CVA seems to be the thing I have a Elkhorn pro and I think I spent $150 on it.  NW legal.

Thankyou guys I will look into those. .50 cal is the best all around caliber for elk and possibly mule deer?

Yes, no need to even consider any other caliber, .50 will do it all.

I bought the CVA wolf from muzzle-loader.com took a day to get in from Portland to Spanaway. Have zero complaints, I also bought a Williams peep sight and love the set up I've got.

Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

I was reading about the wolf it sounds like a fairly small framed gun? I'm 6'3 do you think that would be too small? Thanks

I'm 6'1" and I find it pretty comfortable. Length of pull is a little longer than most bolt guns. If your comfortable behind an off the shelf rifle you'd probably feel good with this.

Lots of good guns out there.

I prefer the Traditions Sidelocks. They are just as reliable and accurate as the inlines. Plus you don't have to deal with the plastic stocks and be made fun of.  :chuckle:
