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….
