Title: I wish to donate my muzzleloader.
Post by: scout/sniper on September 18, 2013, 08:40:01 AM
I want to donate my rifle to someone who may be struggling to get their youth hunter started in muzzleloading.

WDFW- A "youth" is defined as a resident or non-resident under 16 years of age.

Here are the details;
CVA Hunterbolt 209 Magnum-almost new condition.
.50, up to 150gr Pyrodex.
Blued barrel, Mossy Oak stock, fiber optic sights, bolt action, in-line.
2 breach plugs- 209 and nipple (I used musket caps)
All original tools and accessories.
It looks just like the attached pic.
To get them started I will include:
Bullet starter, capper, nipple pick, bullet puller, speed loaders, 3/4 box of 50gr. Pyrodex, tin of musket caps, various lead and jacketed bullets, any other items I run across.

This is an honest offer so don't lie to me to get a free rifle, I will give it directly to the youngster.
If you know someone that this will help, please post.
Thanks.

I'd buy your nephew a brand new one if Scout/Sniper would let me hunt his backyard for late season   8)

I know he will enjoy it.
My 14yo son is going modern so I wanted to give someone a chance to get started that might not otherwise be able. Trenton certainly looks to be in great hands.

A quick note in case I forget.
This rifle can handle three 50gr Pyrodex pellets. However, it only weighs 7 lbs and the recoil is comparable to my 300wm.
Start him with two pellets (100 gr) so he won't get rattled.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I posted this before I discovered the Pay-It-Forward thread. That thread is an awesome example of the kind of attitude that most members here have. That is why I love this forum.

My 12 year old neice  has always wanted to start hunting with me her uncle or her grandpa my dad. My dad has had custody of her for 11 years this year and he has been furloughed and out of work from the government and we don't have to much money to do anything with. Would love to see my neice out there with this muzzleloader and her shooting her very first deer! Please consider her a potential youth!

I absolutely would have, but it went to a young man already.
Sorry to hear about the furlough.
Maybe someone else will see this and has one they can part with.

Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I'm sorry I didn't even see the 2nd page of your post. I didn't realize you had already given it away to a young man. Yes it would be so amazing if someone else wanted to help a youth out. My dad was going to buy both my neice and nephew either a muzzleloader or rifle but found out about the furlough and has been out of work. Thank you again and god bless sir!
