Best all around muzzy (updated)
« on: July 09, 2025, 07:01:44 AM »
Did some research on best all around muzzy and the thread was from 2012, a lot has changed I suspect and with new laws, scopes and such, it's outdated.  Got some extra money for a birthday and I'm looking to buy a longer range, good quality muzzy.  Currently have a cva accurra that works great for me, but it has a pretty short barrel, comfy out to 100 yards but not much more.  Not looking to shoot 300+ yards, just looking for a nice set up.

It uses a rifle primer instead of 209?  Up to 200 grains of powder, the velocity is impressive !

i shot my buddies and yes it’s incredibly accurate out at 250 yards BUT I wouldn’t want to carry it in the woods it is heavy and cumbersome the knight mountaineer is awesome but my favorite is the ultra lite they’re shooters and a dream to carry

I love the no tool option on the CVA to remove the breech, anyone shoot the LR-X Accura ?

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:

that sounds like the LR-X?  It’s high on my list, I just wish the ram was attached below the barrel like 99% of muzzys.

Nope, Accura v2. It has the regular ram rod that stores beneath the barrel.

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?

Blackhorn 209 with the BH209 designed breech plug. I shoot PowerBelt Aerotip 245s… have killed 7 elk with this set up, but have been told that I’m shooting “too light” of a bullet for elk….

People who know... (like Sabotloader), shoot Knights.

I have a knight bighorn and love it.  I did swap out for peep sights, and put a new boyds stock on it.  I'm minute of elk at 200 with it using 460 grain no excuses bullets.  I can keep a 2" pattern at 100 yards with open sights.  Goes bang every time if I do my part.

I also only own Knight front stuffers but I'd have a really hard time buying another one at their new pricing

their pricing is keeping me from buying one at this point.
