I bought a CVA Acura for muzzy elk this year
Like it
Shoots good

It’s been a few years since my TC Hawken rifle days

The best all around muzzy.  Is the one that you shoot, like and keep using!  Be it a CVA Hawkins, a true Kentucky long rifle or the many others that are out there.  I like my long rifle that I put together from scratch.  It out the ball right where I aim it, out to 150 yds.  It does what I want and feels good shooting it.

My CVA Accura has a 27” Bergara barrel and have no issue grouping at 150+ yards. Especially now with the new scope regs…

Load development and consistently measuring my powder charges (to the grain) helps a ton. Won’t stop using it unless it breaks  :dunno:

I can second this, I use the accura lrx and was shooting 1.5” groups at 100 yards with open sights. BH209 powder and Lehigh 265 gr cf bullets. Although looking for something else bullet wise this year

just curious what powder you are using.

Just curious why you want to change bullets?

they stopped making the 265 grain and im leery of using the next heaviest grain which is 240 grain on elk.

What is a barely used Knight Western Disc Extreme worth nowadays.  Had it for about 10 years now.  Still set up for pre 209 days.  It’s a great shooter and built really well with a Green Mountain barrel and Timney trigger with a nice laminated stock.

I have a Knight Bighorn which I love. But if I had the extra cash I would buy a Fierce Carbon MZ Pro! Those are BADA$$

I have 3 Knights.  Love em!

I do have a CVA Paramount Pro with a Leupold RDS BDC.   It’s a muzzleloader, but not a muzzleloader….

Have had the REM 700 UML for 5-6 years now, no complaints and very easy to use.  Little heavy but a different rem 700 SA stock can fix that.  Very accurate and no complaints, might not be best all around since in many states it isn’t legal but for WA I’d buy it again.

those are no fun to shoot. Shot it more than 5 times and you have a bruised shoulder. I bought one and sold my knight to a friend. Shot the uml at the range once and traded it back for my knight😂

Have a bell and Carlson on mine, little lighter and less recoil.  No need to run a max charge, but with the laminate stock and a full 200 grains it’ll be advised to know a dentist, it’ll rattle your teeth but hit where your pointing with some energy!
